is a highly detailed scenery of Copernicus Airport Wrocław
in Poland. This product is compatible with Microsoft Flight
Simulator.
Wrocław Copernicus Airport (Polish: Port Lotniczy Wrocław im.
Mikołaja Kopernika) (IATA: WRO, ICAO: EPWR) is an international
civil-military airport in Wrocław in Lower Silesian Voivodeship in
southwestern Poland. It is Poland's 5th busiest airport. The airport
is located 10 km (6.2 mi) southwest of the city center. It has one
runway, one passenger terminal, one cargo terminal, and one general
aviation terminal. Wrocław Airport is also often used by the Polish
Air Force, US Air Force, NATO Air Force, and Heavy Airlift Wing.
The airport was built in 1938 for German military purposes before
World War II (Schöngarten). It was operated briefly by Soviet forces
following the war before being used for civilian purposes in 1945.
Services were operated to Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań and Katowice. By 1992
destinations also included Krakow, Rzeszów, Gdańsk, Szczecin, and
Koszalin. The first international flights were inaugurated in
January 1993, serving Frankfurt, Germany.
On December 6, 2005, the airport was renamed after the famous
astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Terminal extensions were officially
opened on the same day, increasing the airport's capacity to 750,000
passengers per year. This capacity was quickly exceeded by several
hundred thousand (in the first 9 months of 2007 the airport served
972,505 passengers) so the existing terminal space was expanded by
1,900 m² to alleviate some of the congestion, but more importantly
make the terminal facilities conform to the requirements of the
Schengen Agreement, which was implemented at Poland's airports on 31
March 2008.
"Business Traveler Poland" recognized Wrocław's airport as the best
Polish regional airport in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. In 2017, the
Sleepingairports.net portal recognized Wrocław's airport as the best
in Poland and eleventh in Europe.
In May 2014, the HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service) base
was launched at the airport. In 2015, Ryanair announced that it had
selected Copernicus Airport Wrocław for its aircraft maintenance
base. The construction of the hangar to fit 2 C-type aircraft
(Boeing 737) was finished in 2017. The airport upgraded to the ILS
system from Category I to Category II in April 2016. In October
2022, Ryanair began the expansion of WAMS (Wrocław Aircraft
Maintenance Services) with another hangar and two spaces for C-type
aircraft (Boeing 737). The Airport also announced a number of
projects including new taxiways, additional apron space, and deicing
designated space.
Due to the existence of NATO garrisons nearby, in which US troops
have been stationed as part of the Atlantic Resolve operation since
January 2017, Wroclaw airport is very often used by US Air Force
transport aircraft.
