General Information About Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport

Situated 10 kilometers outside Rzeszow city limits, Jasionka airport serves as an important hub for scheduled domestic and international flights across Europe. With one 3,200m-long runway for operations of large passenger aircrafts.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Rzeszow-Jasionka airport has become an essential component of Ukraine's fight to deter Vladimir Putin's aggression. Now hosting heavy weapons, international aid, high-profile passengers such as US President Joe Biden, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Richard Branson/Bono as well as regular passengers traveling alongside missiles/soldiers/refugees/medical evacuation teams/medical evacuation teams this airport plays an integral part of their country.

Staff members at the airport have also adapted well. "We're running on adrenaline," Adam Hamryszczak, president of the airport, noted last month.

War has transformed a small Polish city known for its aerospace industry and thriving economy, turning it into a destination for Ukrainian refugees fleeing violence at home. Additionally, many Ukrainians travel overseas or flee violence back home through Poland en masse as they try to find safe haven abroad.

Locals have come to accept the din of military and cargo aircraft flying overhead, even when their engines roar during their sleep. But since the airlift just began, it remains hard for them to ascertain its duration.

Additionally, the airlift is damaging Ukrainian hospitals that treat patients from Ukraine and may hamper lifesaving treatment at hospitals that have been compromised by war.

As the war drags on, its effects will test both residents and businesses, and its capacity to draw in new business. At the same time, however, it has given people in Rzeszow an opportunity to reconsider how they see themselves within society and how best to preserve themselves and protect it.
