About fifty deleted flights, as many deviated in other airports: it is the balance of an evening of chaos in the skies of Copenhagen, when on the airport of the Danish capital they started to fly “3-4 large drones”, according to the police, entering and leaving the airport. Kastrup airport, the largest in Denmark, was closed around 20.30, reported the local media, following the detection of some suspicious drones that flocked the airport to then be reopened around 1. Some flights that should have landed in the Danish capital were diverted to other airports in the country, while long queues of passengers remained on the ground were formed inside. With the passing of the hours, about seventy flights have been diverted, also in Sweden, in Malmö, and Gothenburg. There were 50 deleted take -offs.
Oslo airport is also closed for about three hours, starting from the 00.30. The airspace above Oslo airport has been reopened. It had been closed about three hours ago due to the presence of some drones. This is what Monica Fasting, head of the communication of Oslo airport, wrote, on an e-mail to the Norvegese news agency NTB.
“The airspace was reopened. We ask passengers to present themselves normally. The airport – he writes – had previously been closed after at least two drones had been sighted near the landing track. The decision was made for safety reasons”. According to NTB, the closure of the airport affected 12 flights.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on X announces that he has dealt with the argument of ‘violations by Russia of the aerial space of NATO Member States, also on September 22 in Copenhagen’ with the General Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva ,. ‘We exchanged – he writes – opinions on the reasons. If there is no decisive response from the allies – both were and institutions – to provocations, Russia will continue to perpetrate these violations’.
During the press conference that ended a few hours ago in Copenhagen, the police have neither confirm nor denied that the drones are Russian, limiting himself to reporting that he is at work.
