维尔纽斯机场于2025年10月21日暂停运行,在据信用于从白俄罗斯走私香烟的数十个氦气球进入其领空后,该气球中断了八次飞行,促使改道飞往考纳斯和华沙。 Vilnius Airport suspended operations on October 21, 2025, after dozens of helium balloons, believed to be used for smuggling cigarettes from Belarus, entered its airspace, disrupting eight flights and prompting reroutes to Kaunas and Warsaw. 这标志着在10月5日类似关闭之后,10月5日中断了30次航班,影响到6 000名乘客,此后在不到两周的时间里又发生了第二次此类事件。 This marked the second such incident in less than two weeks, following a similar closure on October 5 that disrupted 30 flights and affected 6,000 passengers. 当局将这些气球归因于走私活动,因为加紧与白俄罗斯的边境管制,迫使贩运者采用空中方法。 Authorities attribute the balloons to smuggling efforts, as tightened border controls with Belarus have pushed traffickers toward aerial methods. 这些干扰是在整个欧洲,包括在哥本哈根和慕尼黑发生的未经授权的空中入侵这一更广泛模式的一部分,引起持续的安全和安保关切。 The disruptions are part of a broader pattern of unauthorized aerial incursions across Europe, including in Copenhagen and Munich, raising ongoing safety and security concerns. 建议乘客与航空公司检查更新情况。 Passengers are advised to check with airlines for updates.
