Overview
- Witness reports around 19:30 local time prompted the closure of both runways for about an hour, according to police.
- Seventeen departures were canceled and fifteen arrivals diverted, affecting roughly 3,000 passengers, the airport said.
- Police mobilized helicopters and opened an investigation, but officials reported no confirmed details on the number or type of drones.
- The airport provided cots, blankets, drinks, and snacks for stranded travelers, and no timeline for resuming full operations was given.
- The disruption precedes the final Oktoberfest weekend and follows EU talks on an 'anti-drone wall,' as some countries have blamed Russia for recent incursions while probes remain ongoing.
