I was in Modlin last week, it is bursting at the seams for a lot of the day and is very close to full capacity in all areas, in terms of passport control, baggage handling, security etc, there is room for a few more flights at certain times of day but not a lot of breathing room, no doubt why they shifted the domestic routes
It's not a rare occurrence to see up to six FR planes on the ground at a time, despite the fact there is only 4 gates (which are now being split into two each in order to handle the extra traffic which is less than ideal.
Expansion of the airport looks unlikely in the short term with the Owners of Chopin Airport trying to buy it, which would be very bad for Ryanair and Chopin Airport are none too happy with Ryanair moving their domestic routes there.
This is all part of a bigger game between Ryanair and Polish State Airports.
