Vilnius Airport, located in Lithuania, has become the third European airport to halt operations within a span of two days due to unidentified drone activity. A spokesperson for Vilnius Airport confirmed that airspace restrictions were imposed after a drone was sighted in the airport’s vicinity.
Similarly, recent drone disruptions were also experienced at two major international airports in Belgium. Brussels Airport issued a statement declaring the suspension of all flight operations in response to drone sightings around the airport. This situation resulted in flight delays, cancellations, and the possibility of continued impacts on Wednesday morning.
Furthermore, as a precautionary measure, air traffic was briefly paused at Charleroi, Brussels’ second-largest airport. Flights were initially redirected to Liege airport, but operations there were also suspended due to suspected drone activity.
The evolving situation underscores the challenges faced by airports in managing drone-related disruptions. Stay updated on this developing story by visiting the Mirror’s homepage for the latest news updates.
