Munich Airport in Germany temporarily suspended operations on May 30 after pilots reported a possible drone flying nearby, Bild reported on May 30, citing Federal Police spokesperson Stefan Bayer.

The airport was closed to flights for more than an hour. Runway operations were halted, and police were dispatched to the scene.

At around 9 a.m., pilots reported a suspicious object near the airport that may have been a drone.

Federal police launched a large-scale inspection of the area, also deploying a helicopter, and temporarily suspended air traffic for security reasons.

No suspicious objects were found after the area was inspected, and airport operations resumed at around 10:05 a.m.

Hannover Airport in Germany was also temporarily suspended on Nov. 5, 2025, after a pilot reported a drone near the airfield during landing approach.

Several flights had to be diverted because of the incident, but operations resumed less than an hour later after checks were completed.
