BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Belgium’s Liege airport has resumed flights after a temporary halt due to a drone sighting, the country’s air traffic control service said on Friday in the second such incident this week.

The Skeyes air traffic control service said it received a report of a drone being spotted over the airport around 06:30 GMT, leading to a closure of the airport for about 30 minutes.

“We have to take every report seriously”, Kurt Verwilligen, a spokesperson for the service said. He added flights had resumed.

Drones spotted flying over airports in the capital Brussels and in Liege, in the country’s east, forced on Tuesday the diversion of many incoming planes and the grounding of some due to depart.
