Flights were suspended for around an hour at Munich airport on May 30th due to a suspected drone sighting, police and airport authorities stated.
Two pilots reported a suspicious incident involving what appeared to be drones shortly after 9 a.m., a police spokesman said.
“In coordination with German air traffic control, the security authorities then decided to close the runways,” the spokesman said.
A police helicopter was deployed and security personnel were clarifying the situation, he added.
Flights were able to resume at 10:05 a.m. An “extensive search by emergency services found no threat” to public safety, the spokesman said.
