They want passenger planes to be able to take off from Białystok

The Białystok-Krywlany airport is set to transition into a passenger airport with the establishment of a limited liability company. This initiative is a collaboration between the City of Białystok, Podlaskie Voivodeship, and Polish Airports. The city council approved the plan, with some opposition abstaining from voting. The airport aims to provide regional connectivity, addressing the lack of a regional airport in Podlaskie. The development plan includes infrastructure improvements, with initial funding from both local governments. Environmental concerns regarding tree removal for flight safety are being addressed through land swaps. The first phase involves constructing a hangar and taxiway, with future plans for passenger operations.
