Operations resume after bomb alert on London Heathrow plane temporarily closes Warsaw airport

Threat prompts airport closure

A bomb threat was reported on a flight arriving from London Heathrow, leading Warsaw Modlin airport to close. One update said the airport was shut after the threat was reported.

The available account does not give details about the threat or identify who reported it. It also does not say whether any passengers or crew were affected.

Airport later reopens

A later update said Warsaw Modlin had resumed operations. This followed an earlier report that the airport had closed, indicating the situation changed over time. Despite the reopening, the part of the airport where the Heathrow flight had been parked remained closed. No further details about that restricted area were provided.

Updates reflect changing status

The reports described two stages: an airport closure and a subsequent return to operations. They do not give a precise timeline beyond noting that the closure was reported two hours earlier and the reopening 17 minutes earlier. The information does not state whether officials confirmed a bomb was present or explain what prompted the threat report.
