Drone Drama: Oslo Airport Disruption

Oslo Airport faced a brief suspension of landings early Monday following a drone sighting, according to its operator, Avinor. An Avinor spokesperson confirmed that aircraft were held in the air until the situation was resolved, but none were redirected to other airports.

A Norwegian Air pilot reported spotting three to five drones while approaching the airport, as per police information. Although the report remained unverified, no further disturbances occurred, and air traffic continued seamlessly, Avinor stated.

This incident adds to a series of similar disruptions across major European airports in recent weeks, including Copenhagen, Oslo, and Munich, underscoring ongoing challenges in aviation safety due to drone activity.
