Auckland Airport's international terminal check-in area has been evacuated on Monday morning due to a fire alarm.

Auckland Airport said arriving passengers were temporarily held in the baggage reclaim area as a precaution while Airport Emergency Services investigated the cause of the alarm.

The area was cleared for customers to re-enter shortly afterwards, and flight check-in has resumed, it said.

Auckland Airport has thanked customers for their patience and understanding during the evacuation and apologised for any inconvenience it caused.
