airport disruption: Lublin and Rzeszów-Jasionka airports, morning restrictions (2026-10-18)

What happened

On the morning of 18 October 2026, operations at Lublin and Rzeszów-Jasionka airports were temporarily suspended in connection with military aviation activity. PANSA, quoted by Polish Radio/PAP/Reuters, confirmed that both airports subsequently resumed operations. One entry covers both airports. Precise times, duration and affected flight counts are undetermined. The restrictions do not prove a drone incursion into Poland, an airport strike or sabotage. The search for a possible object near Lublin remains a separate unresolved lead without a proven causal link to the restrictions. Exact coordinates are undetermined; the entry has no map point.
