Christopher Montecino, an on-duty official stated, "I can confirm that there have been drones at Arlanda tonight where we at the Civil Aviation Authority have received observations." This acknowledgment followed reports, highlighting that multiple witnesses, including a security guard, spotted the drones late Monday night, emphasizing how public awareness of such incidents is crucial for aviation safety.
After previous sightings resulted in flights being diverted to places like Gothenburg and Turku, Montecino remarked, "Some flights had briefly been grounded, but that traffic resumed at around 11pm." His comments underline the quick response necessary to reestablish normal airport operations post-incident.
Investigation into the drone activities revealed, "Police suspect it was a deliberate act and are investigating, but no arrests have been made." This statement highlights the serious implications of such intrusions and the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address aviation security.
Regarding the legal ramifications, officials warned that, "Flying a drone near an airport requires special permission, and airport sabotage can risk a jail sentence of up to four years." This information serves as a reminder of the legal boundaries surrounding drone usage near sensitive areas like airports.
