An illegal flying stunt of a group of four drones caused more than 60 flights to get disrupted on Friday -- the third such incident in a week.
More than 10,000 passengers were left stranded, as a result.

Some 58 flights ended up getting diverted to other nearby airports, with four others forced to return, and more than 10 cancelled, on the day.
One person was arrested for illegal drone flying on Saturday, according to the South China Morning Post.
According to local government organisations, flying model airplanes and unmanned aerial vehicles are banned 10km (6 miles) away from the centerline of the runways, and 20km from the end of runways at civil airports.
Chinese authorities have been cracking down on the illegal use of drones, and further enforcing regulations and guidelines on drone flying.
Flying drones could pose a threat to safety as they could easily be sucked into an engine, or crash against the plane.
It's not just Chinese airports that have been plagued by drones as of late.
Flights were suspended shortly in Ireland's Cork Airport last week after a drone was sighted flying over the airfield, despite the airport being the first on the island to launch a specific "no drone zone" within 4.5km of the airfield.
