It began when four suspected drones were spotted at Arlanda Airport, just north of Stockholm, in the early hours of Monday.
Flights were grounded for several hours, although it was the middle of the night so only six flights ended up being redirected to other airports.
After that there were new reports of drones on Tuesday and Wednesday.
But earlier this week, police said that the drone observations in several cases turned out to be something other than drones.
In January 2022, police received around 200 drone observations, several close to power plants, within the scope of one week. The lion’s share of them turned out to be nothing but false alarms, with airplanes, helicopters, satellites and masts often mistaken for drones.
