Overview

• Operations resumed gradually around 7:00 a.m. local time Saturday after a second closure in less than 24 hours triggered by suspected drone sightings.
• About 81 flights and roughly 6,500 passengers were affected in the latest stoppage, following 17 cancellations, 15 diversions and nearly 3,000 disrupted travelers the previous night.
• Police deployed helicopters and technical sensors but reported no signals or identification of the devices, leaving the number and type of drones unknown.
• Germany’s interior minister Alexander Dobrindt signaled plans to revise air-security laws to allow faster shoot‑down authority, and EU leaders have discussed a layered “drone wall” detection and interception network.
• Attribution remains unconfirmed as similar incidents spread to other countries, with Belgian authorities reporting overnight drone activity near a military base and Moscow denying responsibility for regional incursions.
