Flight operations at Frankfurt airport, Germany’s busiest hub, have resumed after a drone sighting near the airport prompted an air traffic stoppage, operating company Fraport said on Thursday.

Flights at Germany’s busiest hub had been grounded for around an hour on Thursday morning.

Police said the issue had been resolved, but declined to give further details.

In March a drone sighting prompted a 30-minute stoppage of air traffic at Frankfurt airport and in December drone sightings caused three days of travel chaos at London’s Gatwick Airport.
