Aircraft take off and land again at Munich Airport - Munich Airport Resumes Operations After Overnight Drone Disruption
Munich Airport resumed operations at 7:00 AM on Saturday, following an overnight suspension due to drone sightings. The incident, which occurred for the second time on Friday evening, affected around 6,500 travelers and led to many flights being diverted or canceled on Skyscanner and Google Flights.
The disruption began when two drones were spotted, leading to a halt in all takeoffs and landings. Normally, aircraft take off as early as 5:00 AM at Munich Airport. The sightings forced the airport to close, with many passengers left stranded. The manufacturer of the drones is not specified.
To assist those affected, the airport provided mattresses, blankets, drinks, and snacks to passengers who had to spend the night. However, travelers should expect delays throughout the day following the airport's reopening.
