""The drones have disappeared and the airport is open again," Deputy Police Inspector Jakob Hansen told reporters. "We didn't take the drones down," he added. The airport was closed for several hours before reopening early Tuesday, causing numerous delays and travel disruptions to 20,000 passengers, airport officials said. Hansen said police were cooperating with the Danish military and intelligence service to find out where the drones had come from."
""The unidentified drones were observed near the airport, causing around 15 flights to be diverted, police and airport officials told news agency AFP. "The airspace over Copenhagen airport has been closed since 8:30pm due to two to three unidentified drones. No aircraft can take off or land," airport spokeswoman Lise Agerley Kurstein said late on Monday. She said around 15 flights had been diverted to other airports.""
"Copenhagen Police meanwhile said "three or four big drones" had been observed flying over the airport. "They are still flying back and forth, coming and going," duty officer Anette Ostenfeldt told AFP at 10:45pm, adding that police were at the airport investigating. She could not say if the drones were military or civilian devices. The airport has now reopened but remains disrupted this morning with possible flight delays. Passengers are advised to stay updated via the airport's website or their airlines."

Danish police are cooperating with the military and intelligence service to determine the origin of the drones.
