German air traffic control and security authorities subsequently decided to close the runways, the spokesperson added.

A police helicopter was deployed to assess the situation, while security teams worked to clarify the circumstances.

Air traffic resumed at 10:05, an airport spokesperson confirmed.

An extensive search conducted by emergency services found no threat to public safety, the spokesperson noted.
