Oslo Airport Closes Runway Due to Drone

Oslo Airport Closes Runway Due to Drone

Oslo’s main airport had to close one of its two runways for a short time on Sunday.

This happened because a small hobby drone was seen nearby.

The airport operator, Avinor, made this decision to keep everyone safe.

The runway was closed for about 20 minutes before it was reopened, and everything went back to normal.

Drones can be dangerous near airports because they might hit planes or cause other problems.

So, airports sometimes close runways when they see drones to prevent accidents.
