Flights were suspended for almost two hours at Berlin Brandenburg Airport due to sightings of unidentified drones, the latest in a series of similar scares across Europe.
Take-offs and landings were suspended between 8.08pm and 9:58pm and a "whole series of flights" were diverted to other German cities during the closure, an airport spokesman said.
Berlin's ban on night flights was also relaxed to mitigate the impact on fight operations, he added.
