Bydgoszcz International Airport facing financial challenges

Bydgoszcz’s Jan Paderewski Airport is facing financial difficulty, according to a report publicized recently. During emotional discussions in the region’s municipal council, earlier this week members debated the best conditions for financing the airport’s current operations. Faced with mounting costs coming partly from the addition of a new terminal, Paderewski is currently operating PLN 13 million in the red, and according to airport marshal Piotr Całbecki, there may not be enough funding to continue operating, reported Nowości. Sessions in the regional Sejm, during which members will attempt to find a solution to this challenge, will continue on November 28. Paderewski is Poland’s tenth-busiest airport, processing 341,000 passengers per year.
