Drones disrupt flights in Changi Singapore's Airport

June 27, 2019 00:00:00


Unauthorised drone flying has prompted disruptions at Singapore's Changi Airport for the second time in a week.

The country's Civil Aviation Authority (CAAS) said 18 flights had been delayed, and seven flights diverted due to drones and bad weather.

Last week, one runway was suspended at Changi and dozens of flights delayed after drone sightings.

Airports around the world face growing security concerns as drone use becomes more common.

In a statement on Tuesday, CAAS said: "15 departures and 3 arrivals were delayed and 7 flights were diverted due to bad weather and unauthorised drone activities".
