A number of "suspicious" drone flights have been reported by German and British authorities over recent months, but their Luxembourg counterparts have ruled out any threat at this stage.

"No case of suspicious drone flight has been reported to the High Commission for National Protection by operators of critical infrastructure since the start of the year", ministers wrote in response to a parliamentary question submitted by the DP's André Bauler.

Unlike the British authorities, who have recorded a number of drone flights over sensitive or restricted areas, arousing suspicion, Luxembourg seems to have been spared. These flights are not to be confused with the recent incursion of Russian drones over Polish airspace.

However, the issue is being taken seriously. In Germany, drone activity has occurred in military areas, including the Eurofighter fighter jet manufacturing site, the Airbus Defence and Space site, and a military site south of Nuremberg.

In 2025, Luxembourg police received 39 calls regarding unwanted drone flights. However, the majority "concerned flights over private properties, gardens or fields, for the purpose of observing game", ministers said. Some also took place in Luxembourg's no-fly zones, including Findel airport, Diekirch, Ettelbruck, and Esch-sur-Alzette.

These flights rarely result in arrests or the confiscation of equipment, with the exception of a drone flight at Luxembourg City rail station. In this case, the drone was piloted by tourists, and a security guard on the scene forced them to delete the images captured that day.

In light of the new threats, the government services will conduct "awareness campaigns among operators of Luxembourg's critical infrastructure concerning potential threats targeting these areas."
