The Upper Silesian Accelerator for Commercial Enterpirses Ltd. was in charge of the modernisation of the airport in Gliwice. The runway was opened on 10/12/2020. The investment included the construction of: a paved runway with an artificial surface, a paved taxiway with an artificial surface, a modern fuel station and a safe location for cycle paths around the airport.
As a result of our operations, the airport has retained its recreational value, also it is open to more visitors and, most importantly, is accessible all year round. Moreover, noise emissions will be reduced.
The modernisation of Gliwice Airport will have a positive impact on the existing aviation industry, i.e. training, sport and recreational activities, and will facilitate the development of new ones, which in turn will make it easier to finance the costs of maintaining the airport.
The location of the airport is its unique asset. Gliwice is home to the Silesian University of Technology and many production and service companies with national, European and global reach. The city of Gliwice also has a modern entertainment and sports hall – Arena Gliwice. The proximity of the Gliwice – Sośnica junction connecting the A1 and A4 motorways, the Średnia Trasa Średnicowa road, a short distance to the city center, and the proximity of the premises of the Education and Business Centre “Nowe Gliwice”. GAPR Ltd. is a particular advantage for investors and entrepreneurs. The southern area of the airport is a very attractive investment offer for business activity.
