Munich Airport stated that on Friday starting at 21:30 the air traffic was limited and then canceled due to the appearance of the drone.That is, 23 flights were diverted and 12 flights to Munich were also canceled.
A police spokesman told AFP that there were two sightings of drones that were confirmed simultaneously by the police patrol, right before 23:00.The drone was seen around the north and southern runway.
“The drones immediately move away, before it can be identified,” said the police.
The airport then cooperates with airlines to immediately provide equipment for passengers at the terminal.
“Folding beds have been prepared, along with blankets, drinks and snacks,” said the airport.
The first disturbance on Thursday
The first disorder on Thursday caused more than 30 flights to be canceled there and caused nearly 3,000 neglected passengers.The disturbance began at 20.30 local time when the police said the drone was seen in the area near the airport, including the city of Freising and Erding.

Reporting several drones seen flying over the facility.
The first drone near the airport perimeter was seen around 21.05 on Thursday, and then above the airport complex about an hour later.
The appearance ended around midnight, but not before causing the closure of the two runways.
The police helicopter was mobilized but there was no information available regarding the type and number of drones.
Alert high
Then on Friday, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the first night’s incident was a “warning” of the threat of drones.
“The competition between the threat of drones and defense against drones is increasingly difficult,” he told Bild.
Chaos occurs when the country celebrates the German unity day on Friday, which is also a national holiday.This happened when Munich was preparing for Octoberfest, which attracted hundreds of thousands of people to the city every day.
The beer and the annual night market have been closed for half a day on Wednesday after a bomb threat emerged.
On Wednesday, the German government is expected to sign a plan to change the law to allow soldiers to shoot down the drone if needed.
The appearance of drones in Denmark and massive air strikes in Estonia and Poland has increased fears that Russian attacks on Ukraine can extend to the European border.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Europe that recent Nirawa aircraft attacks showed that Moscow wanted to “improve” his aggression.
Denmark also sounded alarm, with Mette Prime Minister Frederiksen who reiterated last week that only one country “pose a threat to European security – and that is Russia”.
Moscow firmly denied all alleged involvement, while Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Europe of triggering “hysteria” to justify an increase in military budget.
