Jan Pamuła as expected has reigned as president of Krakow airport just two months after the political appointment of former president Kamil Kaminski as chairman. The two never got on in the past, with Kaminski having connections to LOT and being less favorable to Ryanair whereas Pamuła was more in favour of low cost carriers.

This will fuel speculation from two months ago that Wizz seeing a possible opening in Krakow and certainly it may make Ryanair try and play Krakow and Katowice off one another more because they are going to find negotiations tougher in Krakow now I would say.

There is still ongoing rumors about Modlin Airport with Polish State Airports wanting to take over control of that in addition to the main airport in Warsaw and run them as a duo airport strategy, however Polish State Airports showed much less interests in Modlin until the growth of that airport started to grow at a large rate, and many believe that they would like to take over that airport in a bid to stunt Ryanair's growth to protect LOT at Chopin airport.

With Wizz tending to have a much better relationship with Polish State Airports, this could be good this for them in both Krakow and Warsaw.
