Drones and airports
Airport closures and drone sightings in this archive, airport by airport: how often a drone was actually established, and how long a source says the airspace was closed.
What the archive shows
In 0 of 51 airport disruption dossiers a drone's presence is confirmed. In 43 it is reported but not confirmed, and in 8 it stayed inconclusive or was debunked. A closure is a safety decision, not proof that a drone was there.
Scope: dossiers in the archive's airport-disruption category (sightings, closures and suspensions). Drone attacks on airports during armed conflicts are listed under Armed conflict and are not counted here.

Read with care
This is a selective archive, not a register of every airport disruption. Evidence labels are the current state of each dossier. Closure windows are only those a source timed with a start and an end. For current flight information, check the airport and the official aviation authority.
