Legnica Airport in Poland serves the town of Legnica (106,000 inhabitants, 500,000 nearby Okręg Miedziowy/ Copper Basin conurbation of Legnica, Głogów, Lubin and Polkowice). It is a former military airport (runway length 1600 m, width 40 m) located in the town centre, that could be expanded only if the nearby railroad line were moved into a tunnel, and could serve only as a city airport. Town authorities are looking for eager investors but, if none appears, the airport could be turned into a business park.

History

Before the World War II the airport operated as a hub for Zeppelins. After the war it was taken over by the Soviet Armed Forces (its Northern Group of Forces) and used for military purposes until the early 1990s.

Airport infrastructure

There is a railroad line near the terminal that can be used for passenger service.
