The Challanges airfield (Beaune-Challanges) in Beaune has been closed after a group of travellers set up numerous caravans on its grounds on Sunday afternoon. The runway was immediately closed, severely disrupting local aviation activity.
Authorities arrived on site; the gendarmerie is conducting an inspection using a drone. According to sources, an attempted unauthorised connection to an electrical panel and threats to set fire to the maintenance building were recorded.
