Germany’s Lufthansa has confirmed an incident involving a near-miss between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, and a Lufthansa Airbus A321 on approach to Munich Airport Aug. 4.

“We can confirm a disorder involving one of our aircraft and an object when on approach to Munich. Nothing happened; however, a drone has no place there. As the investigation is ongoing, I can’t give any further information at the moment,” Lufthansa spokesperson Michael Lamberty told ATW in Frankfurt.

The Lufthansa A321 was operating as scheduled service flight LH116 between Frankfurt and Munich with 108 passengers and six crew on board.
