Multiple drone sightings reported in Germany in past three days, Bild says
Military intelligence confirmed drone flights over Munich Airport caused disruptions affecting about 6,500 passengers and led to multiple flight cancellations and diversions.
- Munich Airport suspended flight operations twice on October 3, 2025, after several drone sightings around the facility forced closures and cancellations.
- The drone sightings coincided with multiple incursions at German airports and military sites, including a Bundeswehr facility near Munich, and caused widespread disruption.
- Dozens of flights were canceled, diverted, or postponed affecting over 11,500 passengers, with 46 departures delayed and 23 arrivals rerouted on Friday evening alone.
- German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt called the sightings a “wake‑up call” and pledged to equip police with drone defense units while promising legislation easing military intervention against drones.
- Operations at Munich Airport resumed on October 4, 2025, but the incidents underscored growing security challenges and triggered regional cooperation talks led by Dobrindt on migration and airspace safety.
