Copenhagen
\nCopenhagen Airport KBHL.CO, the busiest in the Nordic region, said it reopened early on Tuesday after drone sightings halted all take-offs and landings for nearly four hours, with Norway\u2019s Oslo Airport also reopened after it had shut its airspace over a drone.
\n\u201cThe police have launched an intensive investigation to determine what kind of drones these are,\u201d Copenhagen Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jakob Hansen told reporters. \u201cThe drones have disappeared and we have not taken any of them,\u201d he added.
\nHansen said authorities in Denmark and Norway would cooperate to determine whether there was a link between the two incidents.
\nThe airspace at Oslo airport in Norway was reopened by 3.22 am (0122 GMT), a spokesperson for Norwegian airport operator Avinor said in a statement.
\nIt had been shut since midnight (2200 GMT) due to a drone observation, with all flights diverted to the nearest airport.
\nDanish police said earlier on Monday that two or three large drones had been seen flying near Copenhagen\u2019s airport, closing it to all traffic.
\nThe airport halted operations at 8.26 pm (1826 GMT) on Monday, according to flight tracking service FlightRadar. Around 50 flights were diverted to alternate airports, FlightRadar said on X.
\nAfter it reopened, Copenhagen Airport said on X that delays and some cancellations would persist and urged passengers to check with their airlines.
\nThe airport shutdowns came after a string of disruptions at European airports in recent days.
\nA cyberattack last Friday knocked out check-in and boarding systems supplied by Collins Aerospace, a unit of RTX RTX.N, affecting operations at London\u2019s Heathrow and the Berlin and Brussels airports. Over the weekend and into Monday, the fallout continued to snarl travel across the region.
\nIn 2018, drone sightings over the runway at Gatwick near London stranded tens of thousands of passengers and disrupted hundreds of flights at the height of the holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
