On November 3, 2026, Warsaw-Modlin Airport in Poland was temporarily closed after a bomb threat forced an emergency landing by a LOT Polish Airlines flight from London Heathrow. The plane, carrying 181 passengers, diverted to Modlin instead of its intended destination, Chopin Airport in central Warsaw, at 9:54 AM local time. Security services immediately began investigating the reported threat upon the aircraft's landing at 10:01 AM.
Additionally, a separate bomb threat was reported on an SAS flight from Copenhagen, which landed safely at Chopin Airport and is currently being inspected by authorities. This incident follows similar events in Budapest where a Wizz Air flight from London Luton was escorted to land by a Hungarian fighter jet due to a bomb alert the previous day.
Both airports have since reopened operations, with security measures continuing for both incidents.
