Warsaw Airport Evacuated After Bomb Threat

The airport in Modlin on the outskirts of Poland's capital Warsaw was evacuated on Wednesday after it received a telephone bomb threat and staff found suspicious luggage.

The luggage was inside the terminal, a long distance from the runway, firefighter Mariusz Kwasniewski said.

Opened in 2012 as Warsaw's second passenger airport, Modlin handles between 4,000 and 7,000 passengers daily, with Ryanair flights to London Stansted, Paris Beauvais and Brussels Charleroi, among others.
