EUROPEAN COMMISSION APPROVES MORE FUNDING FOR POLAND’S LODZ AIRPORT

BY KEITH NUTHALL

THE EUROPEAN Commission has approved a further Polish government subsidy for the development of Poland's ?ód? regional airport. This time, Euro 11.3 million (Zloty 40.1 million) will improve safety standards, notably air traffic control services. The decision follows last year's Brussels-approved Euro 2.5 million (Zloty 9.7 million) grant improving security and fire fighting services. ?ód? is a small regional airport, with 216,861 passengers in 2006. Its planned expansion will enrich its poverty-stricken central Poland district.
