The announcement from Poland indicates that between March 10 and June 9, 2026, restrictions on the airspace will be enforced at the request of military leadership for security reasons. This decision comes after multiple incidents of unidentified drones crossing the Polish border, raising concerns over airspace security and potential threats. The restrictions will affect operations up to a height of three kilometers, impacting all aircraft including drones, while permitting high-altitude passenger flights to continue without interference.

Only military aircraft and those departing or arriving at the Depultycze Krolewskie Airport will be allowed to operate in the restricted zone, provided that flights are coordinated in advance with the Air Operations Center. Piloted aircraft may operate during the day, but they must submit a flight plan, have a functioning transponder, and maintain continuous communication with the relevant flight control services. This measure is aimed at enhancing national security and effectively managing unauthorized airspace incursions.

Exceptions will be made for military planes and civilian drones as long as they comply with the regulations and do not perform acts that might jeopardize neighboring countries' airspace. This cautious approach underscored the urgency of ensuring airspace integrity, particularly in light of regional tensions and the need to respond decisively to potential security threats from drone incursions.
