Ryanair wouldn't use Warsaw-Okecie (Frederic Chopin) as a destination. Remember, they pulled out (as did some other LCCs) when airport authorities refused a rebate after they closed the low-cost Etiuda terminal (or more accurately, hangar...) Wizzair have WAW as an alternate to WMI.
A problem with Modlin is the absence of ILS (or RNAV) approach. Come autumn/winter, FR and W6 will be struggling with the VOR approach minima in Modlin. Not sure that an ILS is on the cards there. Expect diversions...
From Airline, Airport and Aviation Route News & Analysis | anna.aero :
eurolot, the state-owned Polish regional airline, launched operation on the 440-kilometre domestic route from Katowice (KTW) to Gdańsk (GDN) on 3 September. Services on the south to north routing are now offered with six weekly frequencies and operated with ATR 72s. There is no competition on the route, however, it was previously operated first by Jetair and then by its successor, OLT Express. Following the latter’s demise, services on the route were discontinued in late July. The new service comes as second former OLT Express route to be taken up by eurolot, after flights from Kraków to Poznań were inaugurated two weeks ago.
Cheers
