This was announced by the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority.
Her representative, Daniel Ackermann, told the AFP news agency that one security guard was on Monday night around 10:00 p.m. (local time, 23:00 Lithuanian time) warned air traffic control personnel. D. Ackermann added that some flights were delayed for about 15-20 minutes due to the disruption, but traffic was then resumed.
The disruptions were reported less than a day after four drones entered the airport’s airspace early Monday, bringing traffic at Arlanda to a standstill for nearly two hours. The take-off and landing of planes was stopped from 2 am. until 3:40 a.m. as of Monday morning, five flights were affected, airport operator Swedavia told AFP. Flights were either diverted to other airports or delayed.
Police spokesman Daniel Wikdahl told Swedish media on Monday that it was suspected to be a “deliberate act”, but said he could not say what the motive might have been.
