Drone sighting at Oslo airport temporarily disrupts air traffic

Norway’s Oslo Airport temporarily paused one or several landings early on Monday after a report of a drone sighting near the airport, Reuters writes, referring to airport operator Avinor.

“One or more aircraft waited in the air until the situation was clarified. No aircraft departed for alternative airports,” an Avinor spokesperson said.

The Norwegian news agency cited police as saying they had received a report around midnight that a Norwegian Air pilot thought he saw three to five drones during an approach to the airport.

The police, however, did not confirm the pilot’s observation.
