Not all of them were completely evacuated, said the spokesperson, who specified that no flights were cancelled.
It is the third day in a row that a long list of airports have been evacuated due to bomb alerts.
On Wednesday, other threats affected 17 facilities, with evacuations at 15 and the suspension of 130 flights.
Bomb alerts continue to proliferate despite warning messages from the Government, which through the Minister of Justice, Éric Dupont-Moretti, has promised to “punish” the “clowns” who are the perpetrators.
