Denmark shuts down Aalborg airport after drones spotted in airspace
Aalborg Airport in northern Denmark was forced to suspend operations after drones were detected in its airspace, Deutsche Welle reported on Sept. 25.
The airport, which also serves as an air base for the Danish Air Force, halted flights as a safety precaution. Police confirmed that several drones were spotted but said there was no danger to passengers or local residents.
Because of the incident, three passenger flights were redirected to other airports.
Police stressed there was no confirmation yet that these UAVs were the same as those seen in Copenhagen earlier this week, but said they appeared to be “using a similar pattern.”
On the night of Sept. 23, Copenhagen Airport was forced to suspend operations for several hours after drones entered its restricted airspace. The origin of the drones has not yet been established.
Immediately after, Norway temporarily closed the airspace over Oslo Airport due to unidentified drones. Flights bound for Oslo were rerouted to other airports.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
