Resumption of Air Operations in Poland

Temporary Closures and Official Announcements

Sept 30 (Reuters) - Air operations at airports in Lublin and Rzeszow have resumed after temporary closures due to military aviation operations, Poland's Air Traffic Authority said on Wednesday.

"Airports in Lublin and Rzeszow have resumed flight operations," the agency said in an X post.
