Overview

• Flight operations at Munich resumed with lingering delays after two evening shutdowns, with about 6,500 travelers affected and roughly 170 Saturday flights canceled for operational reasons.
• Federal police reported two drones near the north and south runways late Friday that left before identification, and a pre-dawn Saturday alert produced no confirmed sighting.
• The Bundeswehr is assisting with airport monitoring at the request of Bavaria’s interior ministry under administrative assistance rules.
• Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt outlined plans for a joint drone‑defense center and a draft air‑security law, while SPD figures such as Uwe Adler endorsed a federal-led competence hub and Bremen’s SPD urged consideration of Bremen as a site.
• Defense Minister Boris Pistorius urged calm, saying no concrete threat has been detected, and argued for stronger police capabilities and a 24/7 national situational picture as air-navigation data show more drone disruptions, including six at BER this year.
