Access to air transport is also one of the most important criteria determining the quality of life in a given region, and is a condition for choosing a given region as a location for investment. In 2022, the airport continued development investments, such as: renovation of the surface of the Aircraft Parking Apron (PPS1), replacement of the restricted area fence in the northern part of the airport, modernization of the taxiway and cybersecurity.
