<p class="blog-para">The airport was constructed between 1953 and 1956, at the height of the Cold War, 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Goleni&oacute;w. It was constructed as a standard military airport with a 1,800 m by 45 m (5,906 ft by 148 ft) runway and basic airport infrastructure (hangars, an air traffic control tower, etc.). In 1967, the civilian airport at Dbie was relocated to the site and named Port Lotniczy Szczecin-Goleni&oacute;w. In 1976&ndash;77, the runway was extended to 2,500 m (8,202 ft) and a new passenger terminal was constructed works to improve the runway and the main apron were undertaken in 1998. The airport's electricity supply, along with the runway and approach lighting, was upgraded in 1999. A new passenger terminal was opened in 2001, and further expansion work commenced on the terminal in 2005. Construction commenced on a new air traffic control tower in 2004 and was finished by the end of 2005. The terminal expansion concluded in April 2006; at which time the airport was renamed for the Solidarność trade union. In July 2013, a 4-kilometer spur linking the airport to the mainline between Szczecin and Koobrzeg opened, creating a direct rail link between the airport and the city of Szczecin. There are three trains a day (two trains on Saturdays) covering the route between Szczecin and the airport using the new 4-kilometer spur.</p>
