Several airports affected
Flights are redirected from the drone sighting in Norway
Last week, drones caused unrest in Danish airspace. Now they also disturb the in Norway.
According to media reports, several flights have been redirected due to alleged drone sightings in Norway. An aircraft on the way from the capital Oslo to Bardufoss Airport in the northern province of Troms had to reverse in the late evening, reported, among other things, the broadcaster NRK, citing the Airline Norwegian. The airport was therefore temporarily closed.
According to reports on Sunday, the province of Northland, further south of drones within the restricted zone at Brønnnøysund Airport, had already been spotted on Sunday. In this case too, a flight was redirected, NRK reported, citing the airport operator Avinor. The possible origin of the drones was initially still unclear.
Norway and Denmark affected by drone flights
There has been drone alarm in the neighboring country of Denmark for days after several drones have been spotted at airports. The entire Danish airspace will therefore be closed to civilian drone flights until next Friday. The background is the EU summit that takes place in Copenhagen this week, as the Ministry of Transport announced. From Monday, all civilian drone flights are prohibited in Denmark.
