Officers then overpowered the man in his car and arrested him. They found no traces of explosives, and flight operations resumed shortly after 8 p.m. — about 4½ hours after the man drove onto the airfield. Federal police told the German news agency dpa that the driver tested positive for amphetamines and cocaine. Police opened an investigation on suspicion of dangerous interference in air traffic and resisting officers, and were considering whether to have the man taken before a judge Sunday to try to have him kept in custody. The international airport in Hannover handled 5.87 million passengers last year, though it isn’t one of Germany’s top hubs.
