Flights at Copenhagen Airport, Denmark’s busiest air hub, were abruptly grounded on Sunday night after multiple drones were spotted hovering near the airfield.
Authorities reported that between two and three large drones were seen flying in restricted airspace, forcing officials to immediately shut down all take-offs and landings around 20:30 local time (19:30 BST).
Police confirmed the shutdown in a statement on X, noting that the airport would remain closed until further notice. “The time horizon is currently unknown,” the statement read, as officers launched investigations to trace the source of the drones.
A spokesperson for Copenhagen Airport told Reuters that the airspace had been officially closed because of the drone activity, stressing that passenger safety remains the top priority.
The suspension has left thousands of travelers stranded, with delays and diversions expected across Europe until authorities determine when flights can safely resume.
