airport disruption: Rzeszów-Jasionka and Lublin airports (2026-09-18)

/ date of the event

What happened

On 18 September 2026, another Russian attack on Ukraine prompted Polish and allied aviation operations, while Lublin and Rzeszów-Jasionka airports temporarily suspended traffic. Traffic resumed after the operations ended. The restrictions were preventive; their introduction alone does not establish a violation of Polish airspace. The military operation times are not treated as airport closure times, which the source does not establish precisely. One entry covers both airports; the map point represents Rzeszów-Jasionka.
