MUNICH Airport was plunged into chaos after mystery drones forced both runways to close – stranding thousands of passengers just as the city gears up for the final weekend of Oktoberfest.
German police on Thursday confirmed “several drones” were spotted hovering near the travel hub from around 9.30pm, with sightings later over the airfield itself.
