Overview

• Runway operations were paused around 22:00 for about 30 minutes and briefly again near 23:00, according to the federal police.
• Multiple individuals reported suspicious observations to the Bundespolizei, including on-site personnel, triggering the safety stop.
• By Sunday morning, normal operations had resumed as the airport reported only minor impact with three aircraft diverted and one later allowed to land in Munich.
• A police helicopter searched the area overnight and detected neither drones nor suspicious persons, and officials have not confirmed any drone involvement.
• The latest interruption follows two early-October shutdowns tied to suspected drone sightings that affected about 10,000 passengers, prompting German and EU plans to bolster drone-defense authorities and coordination.
