Flights are temporarily suspended at Munich Airport after workers report a smell of smoke in the airport’s control tower. Sky News and The West Australian say the airport evacuates the control tower and pauses operations, while Free Malaysia Today reports that take-offs and landings are halted for nearly two hours. The measures are taken as a precaution following detection of smoke-related odours near the tower, prompting the evacuation and partial suspension of flight operations. The outlets agree that the interruption involves grounding flights at least briefly, with operations resuming after the situation is assessed. The reports do not specify the source of the smoke smell or whether any fire is confirmed. Overall, the accounts describe a coordinated response by airport staff and air traffic operations to address potential smoke in critical infrastructure, resulting in a temporary disruption to departures and arrivals while the control tower is evacuated.
