<h2 class="blog-hed2 pb-lg-4 pb-3 text-lg-center">History of Ł&oacute;dź Władysław Reymont International Airport</h2>
<p class="blog-para">Ł&oacute;dź Airport opened on 13 September 1925. During World War II, the German occupying forces improved the airport for military use, by building a concrete 1,200 m (3,937 ft) runway. In the immediate postwar years, the airport was a key transport hub, but that role diminished by the 1950s with the development of Warsaw airport. By the end of the decade, regular passenger connections to Ł&oacute;dź were suspended. Efforts to restart passenger traffic were undertaken in the 1990s.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In 1997, a new passenger terminal (capacity approx. 50,000/year) was opened.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Since 1997, Port Lotniczy Ł&oacute;dź-Lublinek sp. z o.o. (Lodz-Lublinek Airport LLC) has been the operator of the airport, changing its name in 2007 to Port Lotniczy Ł&oacute;dź im. Władysława Reymonta Sp. z o.o. (LODZ WLADYSLAW REYMONT AIRPORT LLC). In June 2012, the brand new Terminal 3 with a capacity for 1.5&ndash;2 million passengers per year was opened. The capacity is more than 5 times that of the old terminal. Terminal 2 was dismantled and sold to Radom for their new airport. The airport has been renamed after the celebrated 20th century Polish writer and the winner of the 1924 Nobel Prize in Literature, Władysław Reymont.</p>
<p class="blog-para">After the A2 motorway between Ł&oacute;dź and Warsaw opened in 2012, which reduced the travel time between the two cities to about one hour, the Ł&oacute;dź airport has faced tougher competition from the two Warsaw airports (Warsaw Chopin and Warsaw-Modlin). As a consequence, the number of passengers using it has fallen. The airport no longer has any domestic destinations since the bankruptcy of OLT Express in July 2012, which had also planned a number of international services. Due to low passengers numbers, Ł&oacute;dź Airport has been cited as an example of inefficient use of EU subsidies. In October 2019, Lufthansa terminated their short-lived route to Munich Airport.</p>
