They consider three airports there: WMI (Modlin), RDO (Radom) and LCJ (Lodz). Modlin is "politically incorrect" meaning that it is not controlled by the ruling party and therefore its development plans are on hold. Limiting WMI potential causes some operational problems and it became more or less saturated by Ryanair. Second option is Radom, apt not quite ready to become a full hub yet but favored by the government (politics again), situated over 100 km from Warsaw. While Radom is a smallish town with 200 thousand inhabitants, Lodz is much bigger with some 700,000 people in the proper city, still under-served in terms of amount of flights and destinations. Thus, despite the distance over 130km from Warsaw, Varadi seems to consider LCJ seriously, if not decisively preferring this option as yet.
