Copenhagen Airport was left paralysed for four hours on Monday night, causing chaos for passengers as planes were stopped from taking off or landing.

All traffic was halted after unidentified drones were ‘spotted nearby’ at around 8.26pm local time.

The airport reopened at around 12.30am on Tuesday but delays and cancellations were expected to continue.

Between two and three ‘large’ drones were sighted in the area, Copenhagen police spokesperson Henrik Stormer said, and the airport revealed the drones remained present in the area for several hours afterwards.

At least 35 flights were diverted to other sites, including Malmo and Gothenburg, Sweden, and Billund, Aalborg, and Aarhus, Denmark.

Later in the evening, Oslo Airport in Norway was also forced to close and divert its planes after drones were spotted in the vicinity.

Two people were also arrested in the Norwegian capital after drones were seen at a military site.

At a press conference in Copenhagen, Jakob Hansen, deputy police inspector at the Copenhagen Police, said they are working with the Danish Armed Forces on the incident, saying that ‘measures will be taken’.

The police could not say where the drones came from, but said they disappeared on their own and have not been seen since.
