Drones Disrupt European Airport Operations

In October, according to the Guardian, the Munich Airport in Germany was shut down after drones were sighted, cancelling three flights and delaying flights for thousands of passengers. This comes as drone sightings in Denmark and Norway faced similar situations, where airport operations were disrupted due to drone sightings. I believe that this should serve as a call to action not only for Europe, but for the infrastructure of all nations, due to how easy it is to cause disruptions just by flying a drone near an airport. I also believe that countries should better monitor drone activity and create stricter rules on how close drones can fly near airports to prevent any further disruptions.
