Administracyjnie Chopina si? nie opró?ni - Pasazer.com

Latest is that PPL now believe they may have a way to remove all low cost carriers from Chopin airport, coupled with PPL blocking expansion or maintenance work of Modlin unless they get full ownership of which they would almost certainly make it just run the same as Chopin this would hugely benefit legacy carriers, of which LOT is the largest one in Warsaw.

I cannot see domestic flights returning to Chopin Airport next summer unless something changes, the gap between Ryanair and PPL is far too much at the moment, there are various complaints in progress about how Ryanair felt they were treated there and PPL have said they don't want them in Chopin and they don't want them to have so many flights in Modlin.

Realistically what is needed for the EU to intervene if they have any grounds to do so or PPL to sell their shareholding in Modlin but honestly they're never going to do that because their shareholding in Modlin is essentially allowing them to control the whole flight and airline industry for the whole of Warsaw going forward.

Biggest beneficiary of the current situation is LOT, the pax certainly are not beneficiaries.
