Airports in Denmark, Norway and Poland have recently suspended flights due to unidentified drones, while Romania and Estonia have pointed the finger at Russia, which has brushed off the allegations.
Flights had restarted by early Friday, with flight tracking websites showing planes departing the airport at around 5:50 am (0350 GMT).
“Nineteen Lufthansa flights were affected -- either cancelled or re-routed -- because of the the airport suspension,“ the spokesperson said.
The airport said it had laid on camp beds, blankets, drinks and snacks to affected passengers.
Police helicopters were deployed but “no information is available on the type and number of drones,“ the spokesperson said.
