A Nordica Canadair CRJ-900 on behalf of LOT Polish Airlines, registration ES-ACB performing flight LO-8173 from Tallinn (Estonia) to Amsterdam (Netherlands) with 42 passengers and 4 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Tallinn when the crew rejected takeoff due to a smoke detector warning. The crew slowed the aircraft safely, stopped on the runway and performed a rapid disembarkation onto the runway. The passengers were taken to the terminal.

A replacement CRJ-900 registration ES-ACL reached Amsterdam with a delay of 3 hours.

The airline reported the aircraft rejected takeoff just prior to rotating the aircraft when the captain reacted to an aft lavatory smoke detector signal. All passengers were evacuated onto the runway and bussed to the terminal. The cause of the smoke detector activation is under investigation.
