Security alerts triggered by bomb threats on aircraft bound for Warsaw

On the morning of Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Polish authorities declared a security alert following reports of a potential explosive device on board an aircraft traveling from London Heathrow to Poland. The plane performed an unscheduled landing at Warsaw-Modlin Airport, which was subsequently closed to traffic. Security services immediately initiated inspections of the aircraft, and although no explosive device had been confirmed as of the latest reports, the airport remained closed indefinitely as a precautionary measure.

Separately, authorities reported a second security incident involving another passenger aircraft en route from Copenhagen to the Polish capital. Polish officials are currently managing both situations to ensure the safety of all passengers and crew members involved. Investigations are ongoing, and authorities have yet to provide a timeline for the resumption of normal operations at the affected airport or further details regarding the origin of the threats.
