Drone sightings halt flights at major European cargo airport in Belgium

Belgium’s airspace has been thrust into turmoil following a series of drone sightings that disrupted operations at two major airports. Liege Airport, one of Europe’s largest cargo hubs, experienced multiple flight suspensions between Thursday evening and Friday morning due to unauthorized drone activity. This incident follows a similar disruption at Brussels Airport, Belgium’s primary international gateway, which was temporarily shut down on Wednesday after drone sightings the previous night. The closure marked the first time Brussels Airport had been forced to halt operations due to drones.
