In diesem Jahr gab es wiederholt Drohnensichtungen an Flughäfen in Deutschland und Europa, die zu vorübergehenden Sperrungen des Luftraums führten.
Am Berliner Flughafen BER ist am Mittwochabend der Luftraum nach einer Drohnensichtung kurzzeitig gesperrt worden. Gegen 20.00 Uhr sei eine Drohne über dem Flughafengelände gesichtet worden, sagte eine BER-Sprecherin der Bild-Zeitung. Daraufhin sei um 20.20 Uhr der Luftraum über dem Flughafen gesperrt worden. Mehrere Flüge seien umgeleitet worden.
Nach 45 Minuten sei der Luftraum wieder freigegeben worden. Eine Sprecherin der Bundespolizei sagte der Nachrichtenagentur dpa, Mitarbeiter am Flughafen hätten die Drohne gesichtet, woraufhin Einsatzkräfte der Bundespolizei danach Ausschau gehalten hätten. »Wir konnten keine Feststellung treffen«, sagte die Sprecherin.
Die genauen Hintergründe sind derzeit noch unklar. Der Vorfall ist jedoch kein Einzelfall – in diesem Jahr hatte es schon wiederholt Drohnensichtungen an Flughäfen in Deutschland und Europa gegeben. Vereinzelt waren Flughäfen deshalb auch gesperrt worden.
