Lublin and Rzeszów: overnight restrictions, 19-20 October

What happened

On the evening of 19 October 2026, PAŻP, quoted by RMF24, reported closure of the airspace over Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport for military aviation activity during a Russian attack on Ukraine. On the morning of 20 October, Lublin112 confirmed resumption of Lublin operations and reopening of the airspace over Rzeszów. The quoted DORSZ said no violation of Polish airspace had been observed. One entry covers the evening and overnight sequence of 19-20 October; continuous closure from evening to morning is not established. Rzeszów is recorded as an airspace closure, separately from suspension of Lublin operations. RCB alert cancellation, renewal and subsequent cancellation times are not airport operating times and do not establish two additional closures. Precise restriction periods and affected flight counts are unknown. A connection with the unidentified object sought near Lublin is not established. Exact coordinates are undetermined; the entry has no map point.
