COPENHAGEN, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Denmark's Aalborg
airport is currently closed due to drones in its airspace, a
spokesperson for the airport said late on Wednesday, two days
after the country's main Copenhagen airport was shut over drone
sightings that rattled European aviation.
Denmark said on Tuesday that the drones that halted flights
at Copenhagen airport for four hours were the most serious
attack yet on its critical infrastructure and linked them to a
series of suspected Russian drone incursions and other
disruptions across Europe.
Authorities in Norway also shut the airspace at Oslo
airport for three hours on Monday evening after a drone was
seen.
Norwegian and Danish authorities are in close contact over
the Copenhagen and Oslo incidents but their investigation has
not yet established a connection, Norway's foreign minister said
on Wednesday.
Eurocontrol, which oversees European air traffic
control, said arrivals and departures at Aalborg airport would
be at a "zero rate" until 0400 GMT on Thursday due to drone
activity in the vicinity.
Police for the Northern Danish city wrote in a post on
social media platform X that drones had been observed near the
airport and they were investigating further on site.
The spokesperson for Aalborg airport declined to comment on
the number of drones in question.
Four flights were affected, he said, including two SAS
planes, one Norwegian and one KLM flight.
