Flights at Berlin Brandenburg Airport were suspended for nearly two hours on Friday night following a drone sighting, according to the German news agency dpa.
The airport said flight operations were halted between 8:08 p.m. and 9:58 p.m. local time before resuming early Saturday.
Local police told the Tagesspiegel newspaper that a witness reported seeing a drone near the airport. Officers confirmed the sighting but were unable to locate the device. Airport and police representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The incident comes amid growing concern in Europe after a surge in drone intrusions into NATO airspace in September, which some officials described as Moscow testing the alliance’s response.
Last month, Munich Airport was closed twice within 24 hours because of similar drone sightings.
