Aalborg airport in northern Denmark was closed after unauthorized drones were observed in its air space. A similar incident had at Copenhagen airport earlier this week, according to the BBC.
Another three smaller airports in the south of the country, Esbjerg, progerborg and skrydstrup, also reported drone activity, but have not been closed.
The police said the devices could be seen from the ground and added that it could not exclude the possibility that everything is a farce. Authorities investigate who controls drones and what their motivation could be.
The incident occurs after Copenhagen airport was forced to close earlier this week because of a drone's incursion, which the prime minister described as “the worst attack on Danish infrastructure so far.”
Copenhagen airport was closed on Tuesday for four hours after several big drones were seen nearby. At the same time, Oslo airport was closed for three hours, following a similar incident. The drones led to the cancellation of 100 flights in Copenhagen and affected 20,000 travelers, according to the Danish press.
Incidents at Denmark airports came after, Sambătă, hackers targeted the provider of check-in systems and museums of Collins Aerospace, a company owned by the American RTX (former Raytheon Technologies), disturbing operations at the Heathrow Airport-the busiest airport in Europe in Brussels.
