Upgraded Łódź airport will cost the city council nearly zł.34 million

By the autumn it will be able to service mid-range airplanes. "The runway is almost ready. We are also putting the finishing touches to the taxi board," said the airport's director Michał Marzec. The renovated airport will have a 2.1km long runway, which means that it will be able to receive Boeings which carry 190 passengers, and will be able to daily service about 1,000 pa ssengers. The airport, which is 99.8% owned by the city, is financing the modernization works with its own capital. Leszek Krawczyk, the airports president, has put the cost of the works at zł.23 million. This, however, is not the end of the airports expenditures, as it still has to expand its terminal and develop additional infrastructure, which will cost another zł.9.5 million.
