Bomb threats reported on two passenger planes to Warsaw, both land

Authorities evacuated 181 passengers and checked two flights after bomb threats forced a diversion and briefly shut Warsaw-Modlin Airport.

  • On Tuesday, a flight from London Heathrow Airport made an unplanned landing at Warsaw-Modlin Airport following a reported bomb threat, forcing the facility to close until further notice.
  • Authorities redirected the jet, originally scheduled for Warsaw Chopin Airport, after receiving information about a possible explosive device on board that triggered the emergency response.
  • All 181 passengers on board landed safely, according to airport officials, as bomb disposal experts began inspecting the aircraft and luggage to verify the threat.
  • Security teams remain on-site at Warsaw-Modlin Airport, which is closed until further notice; this operational pause halts all incoming and outgoing traffic at the facility.
  • Situated approximately 25 miles north of central Warsaw, the facility faces logistical challenges; this incident mirrors recent security alerts, including a London Wizz Air flight requiring a fighter jet escort.
