Three incidents in two weeks involving drones at Cork Airport

The drone incident that halted flights at Cork Airport earlier this week was the third in just over two weeks, it has emerged.

Cork Airport has confirmed that on April 4, a drone encroached on airspace at 10.15pm, delaying the landing of an incoming flight for around 10 minutes.

Several days later, another drone was spotted on the outer edges of the airport’s 5km ‘no drone zone’ exclusion area.
