Radom launches first air connection

A first scheduled flight from the airport in Radom took off on Tuesday. The Air Baltic airliner was packed with local officials traveling to Riga, where they are meeting with their Latvian counterparts and Polish diplomats. Although the airport was opened in May 2014, it was idle until September 1. Now, the citizens of Radom get an opportunity to fly to major European cities through the Riga hub by Air Baltic. The airline will fly three time per week. "The future will show that this project, carried out with public money, will earn its value." said Radosław Witkowski, the mayor of Radom. Apart from AirBaltic, Czech Airlines announced that it will launch the Radom-Prague connection mid-September.
