Drone Sightings Briefly Shut Luxembourg Airport
- On Friday evening, Luxembourg Airport suspended all flight operations after detecting unauthorized drones near the aerodrome, resuming Saturday despite lingering schedule disruptions.
- Prime Minister Luc Frieden held an emergency meeting with defense and interior ministers after officials observed "potentially larger drones" in Luxembourg's airspace in recent days.
- National carrier Luxair reported that more than 1,800 passengers were affected, with 17 incoming flights diverted to Brussels, Paris, and Frankfurt as the airline worked to restore schedules.
- Frieden confirmed the government is coordinating with NATO allies to secure national airspace, stating, "We will ensure, together with our partners, that we can guarantee the security of our populations."
