Observation af uautoriseret drone nær Bruxelles Lufthavn, Belgien, fører til midlertidig suspension af landinger

Den 11. september 2026 førte observationen af en uautoriseret drone nær Bruxelles Lufthavn i Zaventem, Belgien, til midlertidig suspension af landingsoperationer for fly i landets vigtigste internationale luftfartsknudepunkt. Dronen blev rapporteret omkring kl. 21:45 lokal tid, hvilket udløste etablerede luftfartssikkerhedsprocedurer implementeret af den belgiske lufttrafikstyringsoperatør Skeyes. Lufthavnsmyndighederne suspenderede operationer for indkommende fly i cirka 20–25 minutter, mens personalet vurderede den potentielle kollisionsrisiko fra det uidentificerede ubemandede luftfartøj. Flere nærmende fly blev instrueret i at forblive i holdepositioner, mens tre flyvninger til sidst blev omdirigeret til alternative belgiske lufthavne, herunder to til Oostende-Brugge Lufthavn og en til Liège Lufthavn. Talsperson for Bruxelles Lufthavn Quentin Mertens bekræftede, at landingsoperationer blev midlertidigt afbrudt mellem cirka 21:50 og 22:10, hvorefter normale operationer blev genoptaget.

On 11 September 2026, an unauthorised drone sighting near Brussels Airport in Zaventem, Belgium, prompted the temporary suspension of aircraft landing operations at the country’s principal international aviation hub. The drone was reported at approximately 21:45 local time, triggering established aviation safety procedures implemented by Belgian air traffic control operator Skeyes. Airport authorities suspended incoming aircraft operations for approximately 20–25 minutes while personnel assessed the potential collision risk posed by the unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle. Several approaching aircraft were instructed to remain in holding patterns, while three flights were eventually diverted to alternative Belgian airports, including two to Ostend-Bruges Airport and one to Liège Airport. Brussels Airport spokesperson Quentin Mertens confirmed that landing operations were temporarily interrupted between approximately 21:50 and 22:10, after which normal operations resumed.
