Funds takeoff for regional airports
The airports can apply for a share in a zł.600-million fund for modernizing their facilities so they meet Schengen requirements. The support was initially to be for just Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Kraków. "The list was expanded to cover Katowice, Wrocław, Poznań and Szczecin. This is not the official and final decision. Now each of the newly listed airports will be visited by a special commission which will verify data submitted to the Interior Ministry," Marek Mutke, president of Górnośląskie Towarzystwo Lotnicze, which is managing the airport in Katowice, told Puls Biznesu. He went on to say that in 2005 his company will need zł.8 million and in the following years zł.42 million.
By 2007 domestic airports have to meet the Schengen requirements, which will involve upgrading their infrastructure, and therefore the facilities will require major investments.
