The launch of scheduled flights to London Heathrow Airport, a huge transfer hub, is an opportunity for our passengers on many international and intercontinental flights. We also hope that British tourists will now be even more willing to visit Gdansk and Pomerania. It is also an important event for the maritime industry who send their employees to ports all over the world. Moreover, it is an opportunity to develop business contacts in many other sectors” - said Tomasz Kloskowski, the President of Lech Walesa Gdansk Airport.
“It’s great to be launching new routes as we listen to our customers and assess where they want to travel.
