Flights temporarily suspended at Munich Airport after reported drone sighting

Flights were reportedly paused at Munich Airport on Saturday after a possible drone sighting, with a large number of police officers attending the scene.

A police spokesperson told Agence France-Presse that two pilots had reported seeing a possible drone shortly after 9:00 am.

"In coordination with German air traffic control, the security authorities then decided to close the runways," they said.

Flights resumed at around 10:05 am, an airport spokesperson told AFP, adding that emergency services found no threat to the public.

The airport closed twice within 24 hours in October following suspected drone sightings.
