Unresolved drone alarm interrupts Gothenburg Landvetter flights
Current state
A suspected-drone alarm interrupted flights at Gothenburg Landvetter Airport on 6 November 2025. The investigation was later closed because there was insufficient evidence establishing drone presence.
Evidence states

| Impact | confirmed · sources [1] |
| Attribution | none · sources none |
Swedavia announced reopening around 21:30 local time after an alarm shortly before 18:00. Flights diverted and departures were postponed or cancelled. Three next-morning cancellations were an interim airport count just after 06:00, not a final incident total.
Swedavia independently confirms operational disruption through SVT; police investigated witness reports. SVT reports uncertainty, and Härryda-Posten relays GP on the later closure and lack of secure observations or technical evidence. Inconclusive does not establish a particular star, aircraft or hoax.
