A drone flying at an altitude of more than 2,000 metres
came close to an Aer Lingus plane as it approached Paris's Charles de Gaulle
airport, airport sources said on Thursday.
The incident comes after a British Airways plane nearing
London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday is believed to have hit a drone before it
landed safely.
In the incident on Wednesday, the Aer Lingus pilot saw
the drone pass about 150 metres (500 feet) from the right wing of the Airbus
A320 plane, one of the sources said.
After landing, the pilot informed air traffic police
about the incident, which happened as the plane was flying at 2,300 metres and
was around 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the airport on its journey from
Dublin.
It is not known how many passengers were on the plane.
In February, the pilot of an Air France Airbus A320 was
forced to make an emergency manoeuvre to avoid a drone.
The drone passed five metres under the plane's left wing
as it was at 1,600 metres altitude on its approach to Charles de Gaulle.
Shop-bought micro-drones are not allowed to fly above 150
metres altitude in France, although some can reach several thousand metres of
altitude.
The biggest risk to a plane would be if a drone hit a jet
engine, or was sucked into one, because the batteries of drones contain highly
flammable lithium.
The French civil aviation authority (DGAC) estimated at
the end of last year that there were as many as 200,000 shop-bought drones in
France.
Ninety-eight percent of the drones were micro-drones
weighing less than two kilograms.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
