IATA to form consultative committee on new Polish airport

Plans to construct a new central airport in Poland took a step forward as IATA said it will establish a committee to consult with airlines that would use the new facility. IATA is working with key stakeholders in Poland to establish an airport consultative committee (ACC) to facilitate contacts with the global airline community on the development of the new airport, to be located between Warsaw and Lodz and now known as Solidarity Transport Hub Poland (STH). The ACC will serve as a forum in which to exchange ideas and improve decision-making. It will essentially act as an airline technical body to review strategic options, assess costs and benefits, and consider the operational impacts on airlines and passengers. The inaugural ACC meeting is scheduled for July 18 in Warsaw. <br/>
