Eindhoven Airport illuminating logo inscription. Eindhoven Airport was significantly disrupted travel evening after air traffic was suspended for several hours due to multiple drone sightings in the vicinity. The suspension impacted hundreds of passengers in the evening and lasted for approximately two hours, with flights only resuming around 11:00 PM. The incident stranded hundreds of travelers in the departure hall, with many flights being diverted to alternative airports in the country, as well as in Belgium and Germany. Dutch Minister of Defence confirmed that defence counter-drone measures were "ready to intervene" and that action was taken against the unmanned aerial vehicles. The closure at Eindhoven came the same day when the Dutch military used weapons against drones sighted above the Volkel Air Base, located a few kilometers northeast, which hosts the Dutch F-35 fighter jets. The origin of the drones remains unknown, and the incident is part of a wider pattern of disruptive airspace incursions across Europe, with many recently in Brussels, that have raised security alerts and been described by European leaders as a form of "hybrid warfare." Eindhoven Airport is both a public and military one, an Air Base with NATO aircraft, known as Welschap. After the incident only Transavia low cost airline returned the planes back.
