Following an incident in which a green laser beam was aimed at a passenger plane during landing approach, the police in Kehl (Ortenau district) have identified a suspect. The incident occurred on August 21, 2024 at Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, when the pilots were blinded by the laser.

Thanks to witnesses' information and video recordings from the cockpit crew, investigators were able to track down a 50-year-old man. On Monday, officers searched his apartment and secured several pieces of evidence. The suspect must now answer for dangerous interference with air traffic.

Laser attacks on aircraft are a serious safety problem because they can severely impair pilots' visibility and thus increase the risk of accidents.
