To whom it may concern,

I have been playing Airline Manager for nearly five years.

About a year ago, I commented on one of your posts (which included a LOT Q400) in order to bring to your attention the outdated airports in Poland.

I am not sure if the demand of these airports has ever been updated, however the categories of Poland’s airports have changed dramatically within the last years and months.

There are only a few airports listed in Poland within the game, yet they are all outdated… It is difficult to maintain a successful airline and network. This includes my alliance, which is based in Poland. This gives an unfair advantage for other players.

EPLB (LUZ) Lublin Airport is non-existent in the game… although it is a low demand airport, it has scheduled service to EPWA Warsaw and EPGD Gdansk. International service to London, Dublin, Oslo... The runway length is 2520m.
EPRA (RDO) Radom Airport is also non-existent in the game… The runway length is 2000m, although the demand is very low.
Would you please include these airports within the game?

Today, EPKT Katowice Airport has a runway length of 3200m, exactly the same as EPRZ Rzeszow Airport, yet the category within the game is lower for EPKT…

EPWR Wroclaw Airport has a runway length of approximately 2505m, exactly the same as EPPO Poznan airport, yet the category within the game is lower for EPWR…

EPKR Krakow Airport has a runway length of 2550m.

Today, LOT operates both Boeing 787-8, and 787-9’s from EPKT, EPWR, EPPO and EPKK, yet the category of these airports is not compatible with these aircraft.

As mentioned, the demand of these airports within the game is well outdated…
Below, you can see current demand for these airports and their runway lengths (not taking into account the pandemic):

EPWA (WAW) Warsaw Chopin Airport (Category 10)
Passengers – 19,000,000 (2019)
(EPWA is close to reaching its passenger demand limit of 22 million…new airport under construction in central Poland, although it will open in 2028)

EPKK (KRK) Krakow Airport – 2550m (Category 7)
Passengers – 8,500,000 (2019)
B787 operates flights from this airport… Yet this aircraft cannot be used at this airport.

EPGD (GDN) Gdansk Airport – 2800m (Category 8)
Passengers – 5,400,000 (2019)

EPKT (KTW) Katowice Airport – 3200m!! (Category 8)
Passengers – 4,900,000 (2019)
YET this airport has a lower category than EPRZ, and demand is low!
B787 operates flights from this airport…. Yet this aircraft cannot be used at this airport.

EPRZ (RZE) Rzeszow Airport – 3200m (Category 9)
Passengers – 773,000 (2019)
YET this airport has lower demand compared to those with less in reality! B787 operates routes to New York...

EPWR (WRO) Wroclaw Airport - 2505m (Category 6)
Passengers - 3,550,000 (2019)

EPMO (WMI) Warsaw-Modlin Airport – 2500m (Category 6)
Passengers – 3,100,000 (2019)

EPPO (POZ) Poznan Airport – 2505m (Category 7)
Passengers – 2,500,000 (2019)

EPSC (SZZ) Szczecin Airport – 2500m (Category 6)
Passengers – 600,000 (2019)

EPBY (BZG) Bydgoszcz Airport – 2500m (Category 6)
Passengers – 425,000 (2019)

EPLL (LCJ) Lodz Airport – 2500m (Category 6)
Passengers – 242,000 (2019)

EPSY (SZY) Olsztyn Airport – 2500m (Category 6)
Passengers – 150,000 (2019)

EPZG (IEG) Zielona Gora Airport – 2500m (Category 6)
Passengers – 34,000 (2019)


Civil Airports that are non-existent within the game:

EPLB (LUZ) Lublin Airport – 2520m!!
Passengers – 455,000 (2018)
Should be at least a Category 7 airport.
As mentioned, this airport has regular domestic and international service.

EPRA (RDO) Radom Airport – 2000m
Low Demand
Not that important of an airport, although it does exist.

Please take this information into consideration. I understand there are some restrictions within the game. There are many players who share the same view as me regarding Poland’s outdated airports within the game.

Thank you for your time.

If you want to report a missing airport there is a form in the FAQ to do that:

Q: Can you add this or that airport in the game?
Same answer! We really love to get your feedback on airports and aircraft as they are the basis of the game and form 100% of your experience and we will always check those two forms to inform our decisions.
