Polish airports closed due to NATO

Polish airports in Rzeszów and Lublin temporarily suspended civilian flights on Monday to open airspace for NATO's military air mobility operations. According to monitoring services, there is increased activity of military transport aircraft over Poland, delivering cargo to the logistics hub in Rzeszów, which is actively used for supplies to the Ukrainian army.

The new restrictions affected both civilian cargo and passenger flights. In response to the airport closures, Polish officials have not made public comments.

Border flows into Poland have increased due to military transports, but there have been no official statements yet about human rights violations or impacts on civilians. For now, the situation continues without mitigation.

Context

Rzeszów is one of the largest logistics centers in Poland, actively used in operations supporting the war in Ukraine.
