A scare at Auckland Airport's domestic terminal is over after a suspicious package was found to contain harmless material.

A gate lounge where passengers were waiting to board a flight to Christchurch was evacuated while the package, thought to have been found on an airbridge, was examined.

However, airport spokeswoman Lucy Powell said it was found to be harmless and the lounge was reopened and passengers boarded the flight for a delayed departure.
