On November 3, 2026, Warsaw-Modlin Airport in Poland closed temporarily after a LOT Polish Airlines flight from London Heathrow was forced to land there due to a bomb threat. The plane had 181 passengers and landed safely; security services verified the reported threat but found no explosives. Meanwhile, another flight from Copenhagen, operated by SAS, faced a similar alert but continued its journey to Warsaw-Chopin Airport without disruption. These incidents are part of at least seven flights across Europe that received bomb threats on Tuesday, causing travel disruptions although no actual devices were discovered.
