Five pilots hindered by laser beams above Dilbeek near Brussels Airport
Last Friday, five pilots experienced laser effects just before landing at Brussels Airport, according to air traffic controller Skeyes.
On Friday, an incident occurred above Dilbeek, where five pilots were unable to land freely at Brussels Airport due to laser beams interfering with their approach. This incident has been confirmed by air traffic controller Skeyes.
The laser incidents occurred shortly before the aircraft landed, raising concerns about safety at the airport. So far, there is uncertainty regarding the cause and whether there is a possible link to the new arrival route that has recently been implemented.
Skeyes has confirmed additional details about the incidents following earlier reporting by DPG Media. It is still unclear whether measures will be taken in the future to prevent such occurrences.
