Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Warsaw-Modlin Airport closed briefly after a bomb threat was reported on a LOT Polish Airlines flight from London Heathrow Airport to Warsaw Chopin Airport, which diverted and landed safely at Modlin with 181 passengers. Security services verified the reported threat, reopening the airport later that day. Meanwhile, another SAS Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen also faced a bomb alert but landed normally at Chopin Airport without incident. The events underscored an ongoing wave of bomb threats affecting multiple European flights, prompting some countries to scramble fighter jets in response, though all alerts so far have been determined to be hoaxes.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
