Polish Airports in Lublin and Rzeszow Reopen After Military Flights Stand Down

Authorities ended a preventive air defense activation triggered by nearby Russian strikes.

Overview

  • Lublin and Rzeszow resumed operations on Saturday after a brief closure earlier in the day.
  • Poland’s operational command said military aviation activity, including NATO jets, had concluded with no breach of national airspace.
  • The command thanked NATO and the German air force for helping ensure safety over Poland.
  • The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency had suspended civil flights to enable unrestricted military operations responding to Russian strikes on Ukraine.
  • FAA notices flagged the airports as inaccessible during the activation, and ground-based air defense and radar units have now returned to normal posture.
