La presencia de un dron cerca del aeropuerto de Málaga obliga a su cierre durante 30 minutos

A drone approaching Málaga-Costa del Sol airport on Sunday prompted the temporary suspension of operations for 30 minutes due to safety concerns, according to Enaire, the air navigation management company. Around 21:30, the incident was reported at the Malaga airport, and just minutes before 22:00, the alert was deactivated, and normal operations resumed.

Eurocontrol, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation, confirmed the situation and reported several notifications from pilots about the presence of the drone near the end of runway 12. Even after the alert was lifted, controllers advised that it would take some time to restore full normalcy, urging patience from the public.
