Bomb threat prompts closure of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, Serbia, late Feb. 29; lingering flight disruptions likely.
Authorities have temporarily closed Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) as of late Feb. 29 due to a bomb threat. A police bomb squad has reportedly deployed to the site, and officials have asserted that there is no apparent threat to travelers' safety. The incident has caused flight disruptions at BEG as well as diversions to other airports.
Delays and cancellations will likely impact flights to and from BEG over the coming hours. Residual flight disruptions are likely even after airport operations resume as authorities work to clear any flight backlogs.
Reconfirm flight reservations if scheduled to travel via BEG. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Allow additional time to travel to the airport. Consider booking alternative travel arrangements if necessary.
