Piła (75 000 inhabitants) is located in the rather sparsely populated part of northern Wielkopolska. It also possesses a former military airport (runway size: 2400.5 x 60 meters) within the city limits, which does not serve any scheduled traffic. It was proposed to use it for commercial purposes, and the town authorities sent invitation to airlines asking whether they would be eager to operate on it. However, the interested airlines did not convinced the authorities to turn it into a normal commercial airport. It may be due to the demographic limitations- the population in its caption area is not larger than 1.5 million. In 2006 it was agreed to reopen the airport, alas, no change occurred.
