Gdansk

The first civilian airport in Gdansk was set up after First World War following the adaptation of the military airfield built in 1910 in the Wrzeszcz district of Gdansk, formerly known as Langfuhr. Since that date the airport resulted in the acquisition of new areas and infrastructure changes e in the 1920s Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport was transformed into an international airport. The company Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport Ltd., which manages the airport,  was established in 1993.
The very favourable aviation conditions provided for by the airport in Gdansk enabled the launch of regular flights between Gdansk and Warsaw, Szczecin, Elblag, Malbork, Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), Olsztyn and Berlin.
In response to the growing needs of this dynamically developing region the decision was taken to change the location of the airport from the city centre to an area with room for the growth of both Gdansk's aviation services. A new passenger terminal was built according to European standards. Today, Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the third largest airport in Poland it serves as an auxiliary airport for Warsaw.
