00:50
The Central Airport will cover an area of 66.2 square kilometers, government proxy for the Airport construction Mikołaj Wild told local residents of Baranów, where the investment is to be situated. The first stage of the investment process – until the end of the year – will see the maximum area for the airport designated, the final area for two optional locations of the Airport will be designated in stage two, by the end of 2019. By the end of 2020 all the property will be bought from individual owners and the State Treasury will become their owner.
The construction of the new airport in Central Poland, between Warsaw and Łódź has been subject of much controversy, including protests from local residents of the designated area.
