Man arrested for pointing laser at pilots
PARIS — A man appeared in court on Tuesday accused of trying to dazzle pilots with a laser beam as they were landing at France’s second-busiest airport Paris Orly, aviation authorities said.
“Several pilots complained and the man was arrested near the runway,” a spokesman for the civil aviation authority said.
Airport security officials stated three pilots, including crew of Air France and EasyJet flights, warned the control tower on Sunday, which alerted the police and the man was caught in the act.
A spokeswoman for Air France stated its pilot was never in any difficulty but there had been a growing number of such incidents.
