Flights have been suspended at Denmark’s biggest airport in Copenhagen after several drone sightings, police said.
“(The airport) is currently closed for take-off and landing, as 2-3 large drones have been seen flying in the area. The time horizon is currently unknown,” police said in a statement posted on social media X.
Copenhagen Airport, the busiest in the Nordic region, halted operations at 8:26pm (7.26pm UK time), according to flight tracking service FlightRadar.
Around 35 flights were diverted to alternate airports, FlightRadar said on X.
“There are still unidentified drones around Copenhagen Airport,” the airport said in an X post late Monday.
“No flights can take off or land. Arriving flights have been diverted and departing flights delayed or cancelled,” the post added.
An airport spokesperson said police were working to identify the drones but declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing investigation.
There have also been drone sightings in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, Danish media reported.
Last Friday, hackers targeted check-in and boarding systems provider Collins Aerospace, owned by RTX, disrupting operations at London’s Heathrow – Europe’s busiest airport – as well as Berlin and Brussels airports.
The attack left automated systems for check-in and baggage drops out of action.
At the time, Calum Miller, Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesperson, said the Government needs to “urgently establish” if the Kremlin is behind this attack and if so “we need to be firm in our response.”
