airport disruption: Rzeszów-Jasionka and Lublin airports (2026-09-23)
/ date of the event
What happened
On 23 September 2026, Polish military aviation was activated during a Russian attack on Ukraine. Rzeszów-Jasionka and Lublin airports temporarily suspended operations to give military aircraft freedom to operate. The suspension alone does not establish a violation of Polish airspace. The source does not establish the precise duration of the restrictions. One entry covers both airports; the map point represents Rzeszów-Jasionka. This event is separate from the Mi-8 border incursion near Braniewo on the same day.
