Munich Airport, one of Germany’s busiest aviation hubs, faced a temporary closure on Saturday night following unverified reports of drone sightings. According to federal police, the incident occurred after multiple individuals, including security personnel and airport staff, reported suspicious observations. The sightings took place around 10 p.m. and again at 11 p.m., lasting approximately 30 minutes each time. Despite the disruption, the airport resumed operations before midnight, and air traffic returned to normal by Sunday morning. The impact on flights and passengers was minimal, with only three flights diverted—two of which later landed in Munich—and one departure canceled. Federal police conducted a thorough search but found no drones or suspicious individuals in the vicinity. This incident marks the latest in a series of mysterious drone overflights affecting European Union airspace. Earlier this month, Munich Airport experienced two closures within 24 hours due to similar drone sightings, disrupting thousands of travelers.
