The Victoria International Airport has reopened after all commercial flights were cancelled Tuesday following the discovery of something that police said looked like “an incendiary device” in someone’s luggage.

RCMP said the suspicious package was identified in the departures check-in area of the airport around 1:30 p-m during a security scan.
