Wlodzimierz MachczyNski

Before taking the post, Machczynski as airport investment director oversaw the zl. 35 million ($10 million), 15-month remake of the airport and also served on the Gdansk city council. Machczynski, a member of the Stronictwo Konserwatywne Ludowe (SKL) party, resigned his council seat after airport owners - Polskie Porty Lotnicze (PPL-47%), state treasury (37%), City of Gdansk (18%) and the cities of Sopot and Gdynia - nominated him as airport chief. Machczynski holds a diploma in construction engineering from Warsaw Polytechnic. The Warsaw native moved to Gdansk in the late 1970s after a stint in Tripoli where he met his wife, a native of Gdansk. Machczynski speaks English and some German and enjoys hunting in his spare time.
