Ok, on the Sunday we flew from our respective local airports in the UK out to Krakow-Balice International Airport, or to give it the official title - John Paul II International Airport Krakow-Balice. They named it after the Pope - John Paul II (who was actually a volunteer Firefighter once upon a time!)
The airport opened for civil aviation in 1964. It was a military site until 1968 and still has a military area today, Four years later the first passenger terminal was built there. In 1988 the authorities decided to build a new terminal that was opened for public use in 1993. In 1995, the entire apron was modernized. In 1998 it was decided that Pope John Paul II would be the official patron of the airport. It was modernized once more in 2002, and since then new international connections have been established.
Kraków Airport is the second busiest airport in the country after Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport.
They are currently constructing a new terminal and apron such is the growth of this place.
