Flights carrying hundreds of passengers were diverted from Dublin Airport – after light from equipment was mistaken for a drone, it has emerged.
The Irish Mirror has confirmed that Friday’s alert – which saw four passenger planes in the air diverted and led to the shutting down of the runways for 10 minutes – was caused by Dublin Airport Authority (daa) equipment.
Sources have told us that the major alert started when the light was seen in the sky, prompting fears that a drone was flying over the area.
