Over 3,000 Stranded at Munich Airport After Drone Sightings Disrupt Flights

Over 3,000 passengers were left stranded at Munich Airport overnight following reports of drone sightings, leading to significant disruptions in air traffic. This incident comes amidst a series of drone-related issues across Europe, raising concerns about air safety and security measures.

The incident at Munich Airport resulted in 32 flights being affected, with 17 cancellations and 15 diversions to other airports. Around 3,000 travelers were impacted, with many spending the night in terminals or being accommodated in hotels. It remains unclear whether there was an immediate threat to air traffic or if the sightings were isolated.

This incident follows a pattern of drone disruptions in the region. Last week, drones were spotted near critical infrastructure in Schleswig-Holstein, and Denmark has also experienced multiple air traffic disruptions caused by drones. German air traffic control reported 144 cases of drone disruptions by the end of August 2025, a significant increase from previous years. Munich Airport alone had recorded 6 drone sightings by August, indicating a rise in such incidents.

Investigations into the Munich Airport incident are ongoing. While recent reports suggest possible foreign involvement in related security incidents, it is not yet confirmed whether there is a link between the drone sightings in Munich, Schleswig-Holstein, or Denmark. It also remains unclear whether systems for drone detection are currently in use at Munich Airport or if reactions were based solely on visual reports.

Flight operations resumed early Friday morning after the reports of drone sightings near and over Munich Airport. Authorities are working to ensure the safety of air traffic and prevent further disruptions. As investigations continue, passengers are advised to check flight status updates and plan their journeys accordingly.
