Bomb threat alerts led to checks of two passenger planes bound for Warsaw on Tuesday and briefly disrupted the city's airports. A LOT Polish Airlines flight from London made an unscheduled landing at Warsaw-Modlin, which briefly closed before reopening around midday. An SAS flight from Copenhagen landed at Warsaw-Chopin as scheduled, and SAS said its passengers had disembarked safely. Polish security services inspected both aircraft. Polish authorities said the threat was not confirmed, and it was not immediately clear whether the threats were linked.
