The airport is Poland's 14th-busiest, in last place among current airports with scheduled traffic. It has been taken over from the Polish Army by regional authorities and is run by the state-owned Porty Lotnicze (PPL), which also operates Warsaw Chopin Airport. Discussion exists about whether a company created by regional authorities should assume management of the unprofitable airport.

History

Construction of Zielona Góra Airport (a former military base) began in 1954,[2] and it entered service on 10 October 1957. A MiG-15 is parked adjacent to the terminal, commemorating the airport's military origin.[3][4]

Although the first passenger terminal opened in 1977,[5] at least one passenger flight had already operated from the airport (on 21 July 1961, bringing Yuri Gagarin to Zielona Góra).[2] The airport began service to and from Warsaw and Gdańsk in 1977; the first scheduled flights were twice weekly to Warsaw, and the Gdańsk route operated during the 1970s. It hosted twice-daily passenger service to Warsaw until September 2004, when state-owned LOT Polish Airlines discontinued the route after ownership changes at the airport. The army stopped using it as a military base, and dismantled some of its equipment.

The airport was rented to regional authorities in 2005, so its new owner could begin developing the airport. Shifts in the Polish airline market caused financial problems for LOT, and service to Warsaw was suspended because the airline could not obtain suitable mid-sized aircraft for the route.

At the end of 2005, two daily flights to Warsaw were operated by Jet Air;[6] this was later reduced to one. The airport has had short-lived scheduled routes to Gdańsk, Kraków, and Dresden, and service to Warsaw operated via Poznań or Bydgoszcz. It operated charter service to southern Europe and Ukraine during the mid-2010s. In January 2017, it was announced that the airport's only scheduled route (to Warsaw Chopin Airport) would be transferred from SprintAir to LOT.[7]

Infrastructure

Runway

Zielona Góra Airport has a single asphalt-concrete 06/24 runway. The 2,500-metre-long (8,200 ft), 60-metre-wide (200 ft) runway is equipped with an ILS CAT I, allowing aircraft to land in foggy weather.[8] The airport's elevation is 59 metres (194 ft).[9] Its runway has two taxiways leading to two aprons, where up to 10 mid-sized aircraft (such as Boeing 737s or Airbus 321s) may be parked; an additional apron is used in winter for the de-icing of aircraft.

Terminals

The airport has two passenger terminals (T1 and T2); only T2 is fully functional. T1, built in 1977, has an annual capacity of 150,000 and is used for departures. T2 (built in 2015) is used for arrivals and charter service, and has no check-in or other services. T1 has two check-in desks, basic luggage transport, and a medium-sized departure area with one or two gates. After the completion of the new arrival area, the airport's annual capacity was estimated at 360,000 passengers.[10] A small cargo terminal is next to T1.[11]

Ground transportation

Road

The airport is located close to a junction between motorway A2 (Berlin-Warsaw) and expressway S3.[26] Buses operate between Zielona Góra and the airport, according to flight departure and arrival times to and from Warsaw, from the main bus station (Dworzec PKS).[27]

Rail

The nearest railway station to the airport is located in the town of Babimost some 6 km (3.7 mi) from the airport, which itself does not have a station. A section of Zielona Góra to Poznań line is currently undergoing renovation and a temporary bus service is in place until the end of the modernisation, which is expected at the end of 2022.[28]

[de] Flughafen Zielona Góra-Babimost

Der Flughafen Zielona Góra-Babimost (polnisch: Port lotniczy Zielona Góra-Babimost) ist ein regionaler Flughafen im Großraum Zielona Góra (Grünberg), auf dem Gebiet der Stadt-und-Land-Gemeinde Babimost (Bomst) im westlichen Polen. Es wird nur eine Strecke nach Warschau bedient. In der Vergangenheit gab es einige internationale Verbindungen, z. B. nach Dresden. Bis zum Jahr 2004 wurde der Flughafen militärisch genutzt und danach an die örtlichen Behörden übergeben. Er ist ein regionaler Flughafen, der sich im Großraum  Zielona Góra Agglomeration (die so genannte Lubusian Tri-Stadt) in Westpolen befindet. Der Flughafen liegt 10 km von Sulechów und 35 km nordöstlich der Innenstadt Zielona Góra. Der Flughafen ist der kleinste aller internationalen Flughäfen in Polen. Seit dem Ende der militärischen Nutzung wird der Flughafen von dem Staatsunternehmen Porty Lotnicze (PPL), dem Betreiber des Flughafens Warschau, betrieben. Es herrscht ein Streit, ob eine eigene Gesellschaft unter Verwaltung der regionalen Gebietskörperschaften die Geschäftsführung des Flughafens übernehmen soll, da der Flughafen unter Führung der PPL keinen kommerziellen Erfolg erzielen konnte.
