Ryanair likely to establish three bases in Poland

Well-placed sources say the company is currently in talks with all airports to select the most suitable ones. Modlin, Kraków and Wrocław are reportedly the favorites to host the bases. Ryanair is already the biggest carrier at Kraków airport, and unlike Modlin or Wrocław, opening a base there would not require a greenfield investment, as the airport recently completed building a brand new terminal and depots. Kamil Kamiński, the CEO of Kraków airport, admits he is in intensive talks with Ryanair, but declined to reveal any details. The airport is also negotiating with other carriers, and any final decision is still many months away. WizzAir, one of Ryanair's main competitors, has also decided to locate a base in Poland.
