Drone sighting at Frankfurt airport
(ots) - Today in the morning several pilots have
sighted a drone at the airport in Frankfurt, which caused a local
temporary closure of the whole air traffic by the German Air Traffic
Service.
As a result of that incident the local air traffic was stopped
between 7:21 a.m. until 8:18 a.m due to safety reasons. Immediately,
all involved security services and security partners at the airport
started comprehensive countermeasures to detect the drone - they are
still running, partially. The Federal and State Police, the Customs
and as well as the Security service of the Fraport have undertaken
efforts to locate and detect the drone and it's operator. The
procedures were supported by a helicopter of the State Police of
Hesse.
However, no drone could be detected in the area of the airport by
all the above mentioned forces. In close cooperation with the German
Air Traffic Service, the State Police and all involved security
partners, the air traffic was released at 8:18 a.m., due to the fact
that there wasn't a threat concerning the aviation security any
longer.
A significant number of restrictions for all operations at
Frankfurt airport and the air traffic were the results of that
necessary local shutdown of the air traffic.
The investigations concerning the relevant facts of this incident
are still running. A charge against a person unknown was initiated by
the State Police of Hesse.
