| '''Poznań–Ławica Henryk Wieniawski Airport''' {{airport codes|POZ|EPPO}}, built in 1913, is one of the oldest airports in [[Poland]]. It is located {{convert|5|km|abbr=on}} west<ref name="AIP"/> of [[Poznań]] city centre. It takes its name from the neighborhood of Ławica, part of the city's [[Poznań–Grunwald|Grunwald]] district while the airport actually lies in the [[Poznań–Jeżyce|Jeżyce]] district.

| ==Synopsis==
| |
| [[File:PoznanAirport 03.06.2012 3.JPG|thumb|Check-in hall]]
| |
| The northern section has been used as a military airport since its inception in 1913 as an [[German Empire|Imperial German]] airbase till 23 December 2009.<ref>[http://www.epoznan.pl/index.php?section=news&subsection=news&id=17271 Wojskowe tereny wokół lotniska przejął samorząd]</ref> The southern section is used for civilian purposes. The prospect of relocating the airport elsewhere is often raised as a result of the flight path to the runway being located directly over the city.
| |
|
| |
|
| The airport caters for international, domestic and cargo flights and [[general aviation]]. A new [[airport terminal|terminal]] was opened in 2001 and can handle up to 1.5 million passengers per year.

| ==Confusion with Poznań–Krzesiny military airport==
| | [[Category:Poznań]] |
| Poznań–Ławica airport has been confused by [[aviator|pilot]]s with a nearby [[airbase]], [[Poznań–Krzesiny Airbase]] (ICAO code: EPKS), which also has a {{convert|2500|m|abbr=on}} runway. The runways are at approximately the same orientation: Ławica's is 11/29 (true heading: 108/288) and Krzesiny's is 12/30 (true heading: 117.9/297.9). The two runways lie in a nearly straight line, with Krzesiny coming up first on approaches from the east, the ones used most often. On the other hand, the Krzesiny airbase has two runways and lies southeast from the city centre, while Poznań–Ławica lies just west of it.

| On 15 August 2006, a Turkish [[charter airline|charter flight]] from [[Antalya Airport]], [[Antalya]], [[Turkey]] to Poznań–Ławica — [[Sky Airlines]] SHY335 [[Boeing 737]] — mistakenly landed at 19:50 local time at the Poznań–Krzesiny airfield.<ref>[http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/1,53600,3553950.html Poznań: turecki samolot pomylił lotniska]</ref>
| |
| | |
| According to Krzysztof Krawcewicz, a pilot and the [[editor-in-chief]] of the Polish monthly ''[[:pl:Przegląd Lotniczy Aviation Revue|Przegląd Lotniczy/Aviation Revue]]'', this was at least the seventh mistaken aircraft that landed at the Poznań–Krzesiny airfield in 2006 alone. He faults, among others, the "scandalous procedures which are in use by the [[air traffic control]] at Poznań–Ławica" and the lack of [[radar]] use in controlling aircraft landing, which exists, but has been turned off by the Polish Air Traffic Agency (Agencja Ruchu Lotniczego).<ref>[http://miasta.gazeta.pl/poznan/1,36001,3558994.html Niespodziewane lądowanie w Krzesinach: nie tylko piloci winni]</ref>

| ==Incidents and accidents==
| |
| * On 10 June 1952, a [[Petlyakov Pe-2]] bomber from 21st Reconnaissance Regiment took off from Ławica air base for a training flight, but crashed shortly thereafter near the [[Warta]] river as a result of engine failure. The crash killed the bomber's crew: [[chorąży]] Zdzisław Lara (pilot), chorąży Stanisław Kuć (navigator) and corporal Józef Bednarek (rear gunner/radiooperator), as well as six civilians on the ground. Due to the fact that the aircraft was made in the [[Soviet Union]], the crash was covered up by the Communist authorities and the official reports put the blame on the pilot instead of equipment. In 2008, a monument was unveiled at the crash site.<ref>Semczuk, Przemysław ''Zatajone katastrofy PRL-u'' (Secret Disasters of Communist Poland), Ringier Axel Springer Polska, Warsaw 2011; chapter ''Kula ognia'' (Fireball), p. 13-21</ref>
