Ryanair has called for the Government to take action over disruption at Dublin Airport caused by drone activity close to the runway.
A number of flights had to be diverted away from Dublin Airport over the past two days after a drone was spotted close to the runway. Dublin Airport confirmed a second day of disruption on Saturday afternoon, after two drone sightings were confirmed shortly after 2pm this afternoon, leading to flight suspensions.
It is illegal to fly drones within a 5 kilometre radius of any airport in Ireland. Ryanair later responded to the delays and said: “It is unacceptable that for two days in a row, passengers and flights to/from Dublin were disrupted by apparent drone activity.
