Polish airports almost ready for Euro 2012
ByPL.2012, a company established to supervise preparations for EURO 2010 said it was satisfied with the state of infrastructure. ‘At present I would say that the airports in Warsaw and Wrocław will be definitely ready for the championship’ Tomasz Szymczak, airports preparations coordinator, told Puls Biznesu. Chopin airport in Warsaw is already considered to be ready for EURO 2010. Access roads are to be repaired and developed within a year. The situation Wrocław airport is also satisfactory. The passenger terminal and infrastructure are to be completed in Q1 2011 and the airport is to open in September.
Poznań lacks the approval of environmentalists necessary to launch construction. A high level of noise expected on the site, which is close to the city centre, is causing objections. PL.2012 has also worries about Gdansk airport. The work is on schedule, but its completion is planned for March 2012. ‘This may be too late as usually 2-3 extra months are required to test an airport’ Szymczak told Puls Biznesu.
