The Belgian airport of Liege has temporarily halted operations following the detection of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in its airspace. The incident, reported by a Belgian newspaper on October 7, marks the third time this week that authorities have intervened to suspend flights due to drone activity. Security measures led to flight cancellations at Liege Airport on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
The publication highlights a broader trend of drones being spotted near military installations and airports across multiple European nations. Meanwhile, the EU faces challenges in addressing the growing concern over unauthorized aerial surveillance.
Recent disruptions also affected Brussels Airport, where operations were paused for 30 minutes due to an unidentified drone. Following the resumption of flights at Brussels, Liege Airport was again forced to suspend services for the same reason.
