Right now, we have adapted movement patterns, how to start and land.

Otherwise, air traffic will not be affected by the event.

The police cannot confirm that the observation concerns a drone, but are now working to get more information about the observation.

Hopefully, there is also some kind of documentation that can help us further, says the police's press spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl.

It is the third day in a row that drones have been seen at the airport. Several drones were observed on the spot on Monday night, and at least one more on Tuesday evening. Both incidents are being investigated as crimes against the Protection Act and the Aviation Act. No one has been arrested yet.
