1,000 jobs to be created at Aviation Valley

A Polish aviation cluster dubbed the Aviation Valley has a portfolio of investments that will create an estimated 1,000 jobs, said Sławomir Majman, head of the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency. Majman also informed that three new parties (marshals of Lubelskie, Łódzkie and Mazowieckie provinces) have joined the recently established aviation cluster Wyżyna Lotnicza (Aviation Heights) in Poland. 

"Wyżyna Lotnicza is a natural consequence of the development of the aviation sector in Poland," said Majman "Today, in the PAIiIZ portfolio there are investment projects active in the Aviation Valley that can generate 1,000 new jobs in the sector. The Wyżyna Lotnicza is a chance to reap that success: to develop a modern aviation center and science cooperation dedicated to the sector at the Radom-Łódź-Dęblin axis”, he added.

Under the agreement signed on 19 October, the Wyżyna Lotnicza hub will be developed regarding production capacity, servicing aircrafts, R&D and training in three cities: Radom, Lublin and Dęblin. The hub will also gather local R&D centers, technical universities and prestigious military training schools such as 42 Base Aviation School in Radom and famous "School of Eaglets” in Dęblin that this year is celebrating its 90th anniversary of establishment. These institutions will train not only Polish military pilots, but also foreign ones from countries that are not able to organize the training themselves.
