Danish Drone Ban Takes Effect as Russia Eases Most Airport Curbs and Norway Logs New Sightings

Authorities describe the steps as precautionary responses to drone reports and security needs for the EU leaders’ meeting in Copenhagen.

Overview

  • Rosaviatsia announced short restrictions across multiple regional airports over the weekend, with most lifted hours later and fresh, brief curbs reported at Kaluga and Tambov early Monday local time.
  • During the temporary measures, five flights bound for Samara diverted to alternate airfields and two aircraft headed for Zhukovsky were rerouted, officials said.
  • Denmark has prohibited civilian drone launches nationwide from September 29 through October 3 for summit security, with violations subject to fines or up to two years in prison.
  • Norway’s Bardufoss airport was closed after possible drones were seen and a flight was turned back, and Avinor reported a similar incident at Brønnøysund with one diversion.
  • Germany’s Bundeswehr said it will support NATO counter‑drone efforts in the Baltic region during the summit period, and Russian officials and the embassy in Copenhagen rejected allegations of involvement.
