Warsaw Chopin Airport

Warsaw Chopin Airport is an international airport in the Włochy district of Warsaw, Poland. It is Poland's busiest airport with 18.9 million passengers in 2019, thus handling approximately 40% of the country's total air passenger traffic. The airport is a central hub for LOT Polish Airlines as well as a base for Enter Air and Wizz Air.

Warsaw Chopin Airport covers 834 hectares of land and handles approximately 300 scheduled flights daily, including a substantial number of charters. London, Kyiv, Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam are the busiest international connections, while Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk are the most popular domestic ones.

Founded in 1934, the airport was previously known as Warsaw-Okecie Airport and bore the name of its Okęcie neighborhood throughout its history. It was renamed in honour of Polish composer and former Warsaw resident Frédéric Chopin in 2001. Despite the official change, "Okecie" remains in popular and industry use, including air traffic and aerodrome references.

An underground railway station connected from the airport to Warsaw's suburban rail system was opened in June 2012 in time for the Euro 2012 football championships, and on 25 November 2013, the airport announced accommodating – for the first time in history – its 10 millionth passenger in a single year. A new and modern terminal was completed in 2015.

The secondary international airport of the city is the much smaller Warsaw Modlin Airport, which opened in 2012 and is used for low-cost traffic.

You can spend the night there

I had an early flight and slept inside the airport. Besides the restaurant, which is close during the night, you can sleep there in a comfortable way. You can get to the airport from downtown Gdansk for about 1 euro (4.8 sloti). I The journey takes about 40 minutes. The bus is number 210.

international flight

Hi,

This location would be perfect for international flights. This region could use this to improve local businesses and local comunities. To visit this region you can go either to Gdansk or Warsaw then drive 175kms on not so good roads. When you arrive at Olsztyn you notice the city is growing at a fast rate so commute is already an issue. No motorways nearby, thats why i believe this airport could be a good opportunity for all mazury region.

Thank

Anyone who can fill me in?

Flight Procedures at Zerniki Gadki Airfield

Before commencing aviation operations read AUP/UUP observing EPKS MARZ/MCTR activity or obtain information about that airspace utilization and classification and restrictions form EPKS Flight Crew Briefing office.

All flights to Zerniki airfield should be set with EPKS Flight Crew Briefing Office flight planer or TWR Krzesiny controller. If requested a flight plan should be filed. All aircraft arriving to Zerniki Gadki airfield must request Krzesiny Tower to enter MATZ/MCTR which is necessary to cross the control space boundary and make an approach to runway 06 or 24.

All VFR flights in EPKS MATZ/MCTR are allowed not higher than 1500 ft on local QNH. Approach to runway 06 is made from right hand circuit and approach to runway 24 is made from left hand circuit. You should be very careful when you're on final to runway 06 because of high obstacles being located on final track approach.

Runways

Main runways in use are 09/27 (~900m) and 18/36 (~800m). Both runways are in quite good shape but bumpy. After heavy rain water patches can be present.

Fuel

Fuel is not yet available at Miroslawice airfield. The fuel station is a work in progress and should be completed by the end of 2012.

If you need to refuel without any problems go to EPLU (~25 NM NW, no landing/handling fees) or to EPWR (few miles to the North. Expect landing and handling fees).

Bystrzyca Klodzka Airfield & Junkers Ju-390 in 1945

This airfield interestingly appears to be the airfield from which the almost mythical Nazi Bell was flown by Junkers Ju-390 to Bodo, Norway about 17/18 April 1945. SS Lt Gen Sporrenberg and SS Hauptsturm Rudolf Schuster both gave depositions after WW2 saying the aircraft departed from an airfield at Klodzko, or west of Opole.

Sort-of open

The Wikipedia article for this airport is interesting -- it used to provide access to a secret luxury retreat for Communist leaders. The airport is no longer officially maintained, but some pilots still use it (though some drivers also use it for racing).
