Copenhagen airport reopens following drone disruption

Copenhagen Airport mentioned early on Tuesday (September 23, 2025) it had reopened after visitors was halted for about 4 hours resulting from drone sightings.

“There might be delays and canceled departures. Passengers are requested to remain knowledgeable by their airline,” the airport mentioned in an announcement on X.

Earlier in an announcement, the police mentioned that flights at Copenhagen Airport have been suspended or diverted following sightings of “2-3 massive drones,”.

Copenhagen Airport, Scandinavia’s largest, mentioned on Monday (September 22, 2025) night time that “unidentified drones” have grounded outgoing flights and compelled others to divert to close by airports.

Local media present a major police presence within the neighborhood of the airport. It’s unclear when operations will return to regular.

Meanwhile, a separate drone incident passed off the identical night at Oslo’s airport, forcing all visitors to maneuver to 1 runway, based on Norwegian broadcaster NRK. Traffic has now returned to regular and it’s unclear who was liable for the incident.

Security issues in northern Europe are heightened following a rise in Russian sabotage actions and a number of drones and fighter jet incursions into NATO airspace in latest weeks.
