After a drone at Frankfurt Airport, the police arrested the drone pilot.
The incident occurred on Friday morning. Since the drone could be immediately ensured in the incident in the bereaf zone of the largest German airport, no interruption of flight operations was necessary, as a Frankfurt police spokesman for the German Press Agency said. The “Bild” newspaper had previously reported about it.
There was no evidence of connections between the 41-year-old arrested to Russia, said the spokesman for the dpa. It happens again and again that private drones are illegally enthusiastic about prisons, airports and Bundeswehr locations in order to take forbidden shots with cameras. Inexpensive drones “are like sand by the sea today,” added the police spokesman.
Who reports drones?
An administrative offense procedure is running against the arrested 41-year-old. He threatens a fine. The federal police have a drone recognition system at Frankfurt Airport – but aircraft pilots and drivers also report such flight objects repeatedly, according to the Frankfurt police spokesman.
According to the drone sightings on two consecutive days at Munich Airport, it is discussed better protection of airports in Germany. At the airport in Munich, drones were spotted on Thursday and Friday in the evening, then flight operations were then temporarily stopped. Thousands of travelers were affected.
