It was to serve as a training centre with a pilot school and was built by the Airborne and Antigas Defense League, a mass organization propagating aviation among the general public. During World War II, it was used by the Luftwaffe after Poland was occupied in September 1939, and then by the Soviet Air Force once Lublin was captured by the Red Army in July 1944. The Germans destroyed the airfield's buildings before withdrawing.</p>

A domestic service was opened with flight number 1/2 that flew the route Warsaw-&oacute;d-Krak&oacute;w-Rzesz&oacute;w-Lublin-Warsaw. Unfortunately, there is very little written material from the time that mentions this route, so proper sources are required. later discontinued, and Lublin lost all domestic services. In 1949, the Polish government made a decision to build an aviation factory in Świdnik, located next to the airfield. It assembled its first helicopters in 1956, with full-scale production beginning in 1957.</p>
