The analysis of passenger transport, being made in recent years, indicate that Poland is one of the fastest developing countries in Europe, also in this aspect. It is envisaged that GA traffic will increase until 2012 by approximately 4 % annually. More and more people use air transport, the amount of available connections is increasing as well as the amount of passengers served. Such development we owe, first of all, to entering Poland into the European Union and full opening of polish airspace. All this constitute great opportunity to firms and air traffic operators but also considerable challenge in the form of necessary adaptation of infrastructure to market demands. It is assumed that further development of air transport in Poland will be supported by liberalization of air traffic law regulations, both domestic and international, including liberalization of international agreements, which would make possible construction of new airports, opening new connections and entering into polish marketplace new air carriers. Indispensable condition of proper utilization of growth potential is constant development of airport infrastructure and increasing effective usage of airspace in a way, which ensures necessary capacity to intensifying air traffic.
