How drones over Zaventem took thousands of passengers hostage: “A bird strike is already dangerous, what if such a metal device ends up in an engine?”

50 canceled flights and another 48 diverted: these are the serious consequences of the drones – at least three – that completely paralyzed air traffic at Brussels Airport twice last night. Last year, an average of 30 drones were also spotted daily in the ‘no-drone zone’ around the airport, although air traffic was not stopped at that time. Why Tuesday then? “Here it seems they had other intentions.”
