Legnica Airport


Legnica Airport in Poland serves the town of Legnica. It is a former military airport located in the town centre. Expansion would be a costly proposition since a nearby railway line would need to be rerouted into an underground tunnel, and even after that because of the short runway the airfield would only be really useful as a city airport, akin to Mannheim Airport or London City Airport.

History

Before World War II, the airport operated as a hub for Zeppelins. After the war, it was taken over by the Soviet Armed 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.
