Centralwings did not have much of a chance being run by an old communist style management system within LOT.
I cannot also see LOT themselves surviving in their present state.
With regard to Krakow Balice words fail me. The place is being run by incompetent idiots along with their equally useless relatives as nepotism is rife and still alive and well throughout Poland.
Two years to build a huge new executive office building with a small part disguised as the Domestic Terminal. Four check-in desks for LOT but only one in use because no demand.
Meanwhile the International Terminal is like a cattle market.
No International Departure lounge.Passengers are held in glass pens at the gates.
There is only one full size carousel that can be used for all flights.
The airport website used to brag about the wonderful terminal being capable of handling 1.75m pax. then proceeded to tell you they had achieved 3m pax.
On the landside they blocked out all the windows in the Café viewing area.
They opened a new restaurant called the Panorama but without any windows and very dark. Nobody uses it.
Brand new Business Lounge with about 20 plastic seats and 3 girls behind the desk doing what I don’t know.
Wizzair pulled out because of extortionate charges and primitive facilities.
I believe only CAT1 ILS in this foggy hilly region.
Wizz moved to Katowice and laid on a bus service to KRK.
Charter flights were never shown on website arrivals board probably because these are considered low class. Also I did hear that the Management had restricted the number of charter flights for some reason.
Katowice Airport continues to grow quickly and is now almost level with KRK.
The facilities are very good but unfortunately Katowice is an industrial area but reasonably close to Krakow so they are taking business away.
I could go on and on.
