Overview

• Flights resumed on Saturday after a Friday night shutdown, the second closure in two days, with the airport warning of day‑long delays.
• The latest suspension began with traffic restrictions around 9:30 p.m. local time before full stoppage, leading to 23 diversions and 12 cancellations.
• The first closure prompted 17 departures to be canceled and 15 arrivals to divert, affecting about 3,000 people as the airport provided cots, blankets, and food.
• Police deployed helicopters and continue to investigate with no confirmed details on the number or type of drones, and Lufthansa said 19 flights were rerouted or canceled.
• Belgium opened a probe after drones were detected over the Elsenborn military training area, as EU and NATO coordinate counter‑drone measures and Germany’s interior minister readies legislation to enable military assistance to down drones.
