The airport closed a landing strip, but was able to continue operating, an airport spokesman said.
The LOT flight, which had also been scheduled to arrive at Chopin, was diverted to the Polish capital's other airport, Warsaw Modlin.
Authorities closed that airport following the alert. The Boeing 737 MAX landed without incident.
"The passengers were evacuated and the plane underwent security checks. Nothing was found," airport spokesman Modlin Adam Szablowski told AFP.
"The airport has been reopened and is operating normally."
