And finally… flight of fancy
Reading time: 1 minute
A man has been arrested on suspicion of using a radio to give fake air control instructions to passenger jets and helicopters.
Police in Berlin raided the home of a 32-year-old following multiple incidents of “dangerous interference in rail, ship and air traffic”.
In a statement, officers alleged that the man had “given flight instructions, which over time seemed more and more professional and thus would have been suitable for causing dangerous flight manoeuvres”.
They say they caught the suspect “red-handed” with “two radios that had the appropriate frequencies”.
The man has been released pending a continued investigation.
