Biała Podlaska Airport is a former military airport, located in the city of Biała Podlaska, in the north of Lublin Voivodship. It is under modernisation to serve as a cargo airport and, in the future, to probably also serve passenger services in this area completely deprived of airports. The company „Port Lotniczy Biała Podlaska” tried to revive the airport, but currently the airport manager changed. The Biała Podlaska airport is the only one in the eastern part of Poland area with the potential to serve passenger services and should. Its infrastructure is: 2 runways of 3300 x 60 meters the larger one and the smaller of 2260 x 30 meters, with taxiways and aprons, what seems to allow to handle even intercontinental flights. It is possible for the airport to cover the nearby western Belarus and attract passengers also from this area. The airport is situated nearly at the border with the Republic of Belarus (10,3 million people), where, due to the duopolies on the market, there are no low cost airline’s services, and quantity of air travels per person per year is unbelievably low due to the monopoly of its national airlines. Airport in Biała Podlaska is located in direct proximity to the Belarusian city of Brest. There is a border crossing with Belarus in nearby Terespol/Brest (approx. 40 km distance to the east). Table.
