June 1976 Heroes of Radom. This is the “old number” naming capital cities within 100 km of airports – the Belgians did Charleroi Airport, adding Brussels to the name.

– This is a foretaste of what CPK will be – said Marcin Horała, Government Plenipotentiary for the construction of a grand airport that will become the main hub in this part of Europe, during the opening of Radom port.

Will it fail?
CPK is the melody of the future, but in the case of Radom we can give specific numbers. Optimistic estimates put around 100,000 passengers a year. But this is in the case of a three-fold increase in the number of operations.
– Triple increase means 32 operations, so 16 departures/arrivals per week, so 2-3 flights per day. Optimistic assumptions mean 100,000. passengers per year, and the airport costs more than a billion (construction, demolition and reconstruction). Such a small number of passengers will not cover even a fraction of the operating costs, not to mention the return on investment. The airport would need to have about 1.5 million passengers a year to talk about going to zero. Radom, in my opinion, is doomed to failure under the current circumstances, said aviation expert Eric Klopodowski in an interview with Onet Botros.
“I don’t know who will use this airport”
After the opening of the airport in Radom, tourists contacted us. Ms. Małgorzata was a regular customer of the local port a few years ago. At least once a month she flew from there to Gdynia to see her children. He is surprised that the airport now offers so few seats. And he doubts whether he would encourage anyone to travel often.
Mrs. Margaret tells us.
Tickets up to half price
LOT is scheduled to fly to Tirana at the end of June. When we entered the flight for June 25 in a popular search engine, the price was PLN 1,200. – When I learned about flights from Radom, I jumped. After a while, relief came. It cost me half as much in the same direction from Katowice – this is the account of Marta, a tourist.

What is the other side? “Radom, despite its past, is actually a completely new product on the map of Polish airports. In such cases, airlines and tour operators need time to design a network of connections. Every season changes in the network of connections systematically appear. , some places disappear , and new ones appear in their place. Especially when it comes to charter flights, the network of connections is adapted to current trends,” Polskie Porty Lotnicze wrote in a statement sent to money.pl.
