The German Munich airport reported early Friday that drone sightings on Thursday night had forced air traffic control to suspend operations, which caused the cancellation of 17 flights and interrupted the trip of almost 3,000 passengers.
Another 15 flights were diverted to Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Vienna and Frankfurt, the airport reported in a statement. This is the last disturbance caused by drones in European aviation, after last week the Denmark and Norway airports will be temporarily closed.
The German air control authorities restricted the flight operations at Munich airport on Thursday and Subsequently they suspended them completely due to several drone sightings, the airport added.
The city was already put in suspense this week when its popular Oktoberfest festival was temporarily closed due to a bomb threat and the discovery of explosives in a residential building in the north of the city.
Denmark has not said who believes that he is responsible for the incidents that occurred in their airspace last week, which interrupted air traffic in several airports, But Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has suggested that it could be Russia.
The leaders of the European Union supported the airplanes on Wednesday to reinforce the block defenses against the Russian drones.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin joked on Thursday saying that he would not fly again from Drones on Denmark, but Moscow has denied its responsibility in the incidents.
