In the first quarter of this year, the Airport company generated PLN 8.6 million in sales profit and over PLN 10 million in net profit.
“We have made a fantastic start to this year. Twenty per cent growth after the first quarter is a sensational result. Geopolitically, the situation is not simple. Every now and then some conflict smoulders, and there is still a regular war going on beyond our Eastern border. Airlines are having problems with aircraft and engines. Despite this, it promises to be a very good season for both scheduled and charter air traffic. We already have signals that there are very high sales of holidays with tour operators,” - said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport.
