Lublin and Rzeszów: restrictions on 20 October

What happened

During the daytime on 20 October 2026, operations at Lublin and Rzeszów-Jasionka airports were suspended again during a Russian attack on Ukraine and military activity. Lublin24’s 10:49 report describes new restrictions after the morning resumption of operations. At 18:29, Polish Radio Rzeszów/IAR described suspension of operations at both airports, aircraft being directed west, and the end of military activity and return to normal conditions. The military observed no violation of Polish airspace. One entry covers both airports; precise start and end times, restriction durations and diverted flight counts are unknown. Publication, siren and RCB alert times do not establish closure times. The evening alert alone does not establish a further separate airport disruption. Exact coordinates are undetermined; the entry has no map point.
