Kraków also spelled Cracow, is the second-largest and one
of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Wisla (Vistula)
River in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the
7th century. Kraków was the official capital of Poland until
1596 and has traditionally been one of the leading centers of
Polish academic, economic, cultural, and artistic life. Cited as
one of Europe's most beautiful cities, its Old Town has declared
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It began as a hamlet on Wawel Hill
and was already being reported as a busy trading center of
Slavonic Europe in 965. With the establishment of new
universities and cultural venues at the emergence of the Second
Polish Republic in 1918 and throughout the 20th century, Kraków
reaffirmed its role as a major national academic and artistic
center. The city has a population of approximately 760,000, with
approximately 8 million additional people living within a 100 km
(62 mi) radius of its main square.
Kraków John Paul II International Airport (IATA: KRK,
ICAO: EPKK) is an international airport located near Kraków, in
the village of Balice, 11 km (6.8 mi) west of the city center,
in southern Poland. It is the second busiest airport in the
country in terms of the volume of passengers served annually.
Kraków Airport is the second busiest airport in the country
after Warsaw Chopin Airport. The airport has good growth
prospects, as almost 8 million people live within 100 km (62 mi)
of it. The airport also has a favorable location on the network
of existing and planned motorways in this region of Poland, but
it faces stiff competition from the nearby Katowice
International Airport in Pyrzowice, as well as other Polish
airports.
Krakow Airport is equipped with the ILS, NDB, and DVOR
navigation systems. In direction 25, an ALPA-ATA cat. II
approach lighting system with flashing lights installed. In
direction 07, there is a simplified IDMAN approach lighting
system. The airport apron equals 90,000 m2 and currently
provides space for 19 C-code aircraft. In accordance with the
ICAO standards, the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting services
provide Category Eight in terms of airport rescue and
firefighting protection.
Kraków Airport as a facility is used by both military and civil
aviation. The 8th Aviation Transport Base in Kraków-Balice is
intended for securing and carrying out air transport tasks in
favor of military units of the Polish Armed Forces and for the
Polish Military Contingents. The Base uses two types of
airplanes: CASA C-295M developed in Spain and Polish-built
M28B/PT/GC, a derivative of Antonov 28.
Kraków-Rakowice-Czyżyny Airport (ICAO: EPKC) is one of
the oldest permanent airfields in Europe, open for occasional
traffic by certain types of aircraft. A portion of it is now the
site of the Polish Aviation Museum with a 720-meter long and
60-meter wide segment of the original concrete runway restored
for use by the museum for light planes (to 7,500 kg) and
helicopters.
