Overview
- An airport employee reported a suspicious light in the sky near the Bundeswehr helicopter hangar shortly before 19:00, and flight control registered the sighting.
- Authorities said the object could have been a drone, but follow-up detection attempts failed to relocate it.
- Both runways were paused for about half an hour, with flight traffic resuming at 19:18 and passenger processing continuing during the pause.
- Bundespolizei and state police conducted a close-area search and found neither a drone nor any other applicable object, concluding the suspicion did not materialize.
- The precautionary pause was described as standard procedure to prevent potential collisions, and the episode adds to recent airport sightings that have renewed calls for stronger countermeasures and stricter rules.
