Overview
- Both runways were closed again Friday night after unconfirmed drone reports, with the airport saying operations were suspended as a precaution and at least 10 arrivals were diverted.
- The airport had reopened early Friday after an overnight halt that canceled 17 departures, diverted 15 arrivals and affected about 3,000 passengers who were provided beds, blankets and food.
- Police deployed helicopters during both incidents, but authorities reported no confirmed details on the number or type of devices and investigations are ongoing.
- Lufthansa said it rerouted or canceled 19 flights connected to the disruption, including several long‑haul services.
- Germany’s interior minister vowed to advance legislation to let the military help shoot down hostile drones, as similar sightings across Europe—including new reports in Belgium—keep aviation and security agencies on alert.
