Metro Airport Blue Deck Reopens After Police Investigation

ROMULUS (WWJ) - The Blue Deck parking structure at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus has reopened following a police investigation.

Metro Airport spokeswoman Erica Donerson said Airport Authority Police were checking out a "suspicious vehicle" in the Blue Deck, so that parking area — as well as the Ground Transportation Center (GTC) at the North Terminal — were temporarily closed, late Tuesday afternoon. Travelers were directed to use Green Lot Two in the meantime.

Shortly before 5 p.m., however, Donerson said the deck had reopened and all parking and transportation operations were back to normal.

Officials said the car had been parked in the lot for a month and the plate wasn't registered with the state.

An airport dog picked up a scent -- which was later determined to be a false positive.

Flights to and from the airport were not affected and no injuries were reported.
