All traffic at Denmark’s biggest airport in Copenhagen has been closed after drone sightings, police say.
“(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 say in a statement posted on social media X.
Copenhagen Airport, the busiest in the Nordic region, halted operations at 20:26 local time (18:26 GMT), according to flight tracking service FlightRadar. Around 35 flights were diverted to alternate airports, FlightRadar says on X.
An airport spokesperson said police were working to identify the drones but declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing investigation.
