Dublin Airport suspends flights again due to drone activity

Flights operations have been suspended on Tuesday night  at Dublin Airport due to even more drone activity.

In order to ensure public safety, the activity resulted in the suspension of all airport flights.

It comes as a man appeared in court yesterday in connection with previous drone activity over the airfield. Another man appeared in court earlier this month.

It led to 30 minute delays on some flights as the airspace closed to traffic.

The public was warned by Dublin Airport regarding drone activity within 5 kilometres of the airfield and the potential consequences if caught.

A post on the airport’s Twitter feed shortly before 9pm said: “Due to illegal drone activity in the vicinity of Dublin Airport, all flight operations are currently suspended.”

Dublin Airport said: “Flight operations at Dublin Airport have now resumed after a suspension of 30 minutes. On the day in which a second person in two weeks has been charged with flying a drone near Dublin Airport, we would remind drone users that it is illegal to fly a drone within 5km of the airport. Severe punishments must follow for anyone found guilty.”
