"Munich airport has again suspended operations following further "unconfirmed drone sightings" in the vicinity, an airport spokesman confirmed to the dpa news agency. The move comes hours after a drone was spotted above a German military installation in the nearby town on Erding, northeast of Munich city center. Both runways, for take-off and landing, were initially blocked at 9.34 p.m. as a precautionary measure, but operations have now been fully suspended "until further notice." Many incoming flights have been diverted to Stuttgart in southwestern Germany."
"Both runways at Munich airport have been closed for the second time in 24 hours after further "unconfirmed drone sightings." A drone was earlier sighted over a nearby military facility."
Munich Airport suspended all operations for the second consecutive day after further unconfirmed drone sightings in the vicinity. Both runways were initially blocked at 9.34 p.m. as a precaution and later fully closed until further notice, prompting many incoming flights to be diverted to Stuttgart. Earlier, a drone was reported over a German Bundeswehr facility in Erding northeast of Munich. The Bundeswehr confirmed the sighting, while investigations into any link between the military sighting and airport disruptions remain ongoing. Thursday's operations were also disrupted by drone activity, marking repeated incidents over 24 hours.
