Operations at Singapore Changi airport operations were temporarily disrupted on 24 June due to unauthorised drone activities and bad weather. In total, about 15 departures and three arrivals were delayed, and seven flights were diverted.
It is the second time that drone sightings near the airport have caused disruption at the Southeast Asian hub within a week. On 18 June it was forced to suspend operations from one of its two runways between 23:00 local time and 09:00 the following morning.

Flights of Georgian airlines to Russia will be suspended from July 8, according to the Russian Transport Ministry. "The reason for the suspension of flights is the need to ensure a sufficient level of aviation security, as well as overdue debts for air navigation activities before State ATM Corporation," the Ministry said. The total amount of Georgia’s debt for air navigation services is slightly below $793,000. At the same time, another 592,200 rubles ($9,391) of debt have not been repaid since 2008. "The suspension of flights will continue until companies Georgian Airways and MyWay Airlines present programs of aviation safety to the Russian side, their audit and approval by the Russian side, and until the Georgian side fully repays the air navigation service debt," the report said. Russia’s largest airline Aeroflot will fully halt flights to Georgia from July 8, Aeroflot announced earlier.
