Copenhagen Airport stopped for hours by large unidentified drones flying nearby

Copenhagen, Denmark – Flights to Copenhagen airport resumed on Tuesday after being suspended or diverted during the night due to drone observations. The police reported that two to three large unidentified drones were seen on Monday evening, forcing outgoing flights in the largest Scandinavia airport to be put to the ground and other diverted to nearby airports.
“Copenhagen Airport has reopened after being closed due to the drone activity. However, there will be delays and certain departures canceled. Passengers are invited to check with their airline for more information,” said the airport website.
Local media have shown a significant police presence near the airport.
A drone incident the same evening at Oslo airport, Norway, forced all the traffic to move to a track, according to the Nrk Nrk diffuser. Traffic has returned to normal and it is not clear that was responsible.
The unknown author of Copenhagen was a drone pilot capable with the ability to browse them for many kilometers to reach the airport, Jenssen of the Copenhagen Police announced on Tuesday morning during a press conference. The pilot seemed to show their skills, he said.

“The number, size, flight models, time at the airport. All this together … indicates that he is a capable actor. What a competent actor, I don’t know,” said Jespersen.
Police have chosen not to shoot drones due to the risk set by their location near the airport full of passengers, aircraft on tracks and nearby fuel deposits, he said.
Investigators examine how drones have reached the airport – whether on the floor or perhaps on boats that cross strategic straight lines in the Baltic Sea.

Jespersen said the authorities could not exclude the possibility that drones are part of a Russian hybrid attack.
