Budapest flight cancelled as drone panic shuts down Munich Airport
Change language:
On Thursday evening, Munich’s Franz Josef Strauss Airport was brought to a standstill for several hours after multiple drones were spotted near the facility. Owing to the security risk, German air traffic control closed the runways, causing significant disruption. The chaos also affected passengers travelling to and from Budapest: Lufthansa flight LH1674, scheduled to depart Munich for Budapest at 6:25 a.m. on Friday, and its return service, LH1675, were both cancelled
Thousands of passengers stranded in Munich
The airport was shut shortly after 10 p.m. local time, following drone sightings at 9:30 p.m. and again an hour later, according to reports from Welt cited by 24.hu. Police and airport security units searched the area with helicopters and ground patrols but failed to locate the drones or their operators.
As a result of the closure, 17 flights were cancelled and a further 15 were diverted to other cities, including Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Vienna. In total, 32 flights were affected, leaving around 3,000 passengers stranded overnight at the airport.
Let me guess: Russia and Putin. :rolls eyes:
Nothing to do with Agenda 2030, where, among other things, they want to confine people to “15-Minute Cities” and not have us travel by air at all.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we’d see a whole bunch of freak airplane crashes in the next year or two…
