Just in case you had any doubts about what the whole saga is about

State owned LOT Polish Airlines filed today a notification to the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection regarding the abuse of a dominant position by the Modlin airport - which could potentially lead to a massive fine / costly battle for Modlin Airport,

Modlin is currently being starved of cash due to issues with state owned Polish Airports Enterprise (PPL) which fully owns Chopin Airport but as a 30% shareholder in Modlin is blocking any attempt to expand the airport, raise finance or carry out any repair works at the airport unless other shareholders sell out to it.

Many believe that the latest actions are another example of the determination of several parties to achieve their aim by any means necessary, as described on pasazer.com, The moment the complaint is filed by LOT is also not accidental. The complaint against Modlin is part of a larger political plan.

In addition as mentioned yesterday there are moves underway which according to the Wizz Air CEO are attempts to push Wizz and other low cost carriers out of Chopin Airport and to Radom Airport.
