Munich Airport in Germany was forced to temporarily close on the night of October 2 after a series of drones were discovered, German officials informed.
A total of 17 flights were canceled after 10:00 p.m. on October 2, affecting nearly 3,000 passengers, according to Munich Airport.
15 flights to the airport have been diverted to Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Frankfurt in Germany, as well as Vienna in neighboring Austria.
The airport in Bavaria, southern Germany, served nearly 20 million passengers in the first half of this year.
This is the latest European airport to close after the discovery of drones.
Before the incident at Munich Airport, several airports in Denmark also discovered drones last week, affecting tens of thousands of passengers.
Denmark has since banned all civil flights by drones in its airspace as it holds a summit of European leaders in Copenhagen this week.
