Belgian security council meets to discuss airport drone chaos
The Guardian
|November 07, 2025
Belgium's national security council held an emergency meeting yesterday after drone sightings at airports caused chaos for travellers and raised security concerns.
Arrivals and departures were halted for several hours on Tuesday evening at Belgium's busiest airport, Brussels, leading to the cancellation of dozens of flights. The skies were also closed over Liège airport, an important hub for freight transport, leading to further cancellations, delays and diversions.
Meanwhile, the mayor of the Flemish town of Diest reported that police and army officers had spotted four drones at the nearby Schaffen military airbase on Tuesday. Before the latest sightings, Belgian authorities were investigating mystery drone sightings at several military bases over the weekend, including Kleine-Brogel, near the Dutch border, which is home to Belgium's F-16 fighter jets and widely reported to store US nuclear weapons.
The drone sightings in Belgium are the latest after a rise in incursions into European airspace since mid-September. In recent weeks, drones have been spotted in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Norway and Spain.
