Lublin Airport (Port Lotniczy Lublin) (IATA: LUZ, ICAO: EPLB) is an airport in Poland serving Lublin and the surrounding region. The site is located about 10 km (6.2 miles) east of central Lublin, adjacent to the town of Świdnik. The airport has a 2520 × (45 + 2 × 7.5) m runway (8,270 × 200 ft), and the terminal facilities are capable of handling four Boeing 737-800 class aircraft simultaneously.[3] Construction began in the fall of 2010[4] and the official opening took place on December 17, 2012.[5][6] The new airport replaced the grass airstrip (1,200 × 50 m or 1,312 × 55 yd), which had served the PZL-Świdnik helicopter factory, and was known as Świdnik Airport with the ICAO identifier EPSW.
