It was to serve as a trainingcenter with a pilot school and was built by the Airborne and AntigasDefence League, a mass organization propagating aviation among thegeneral public. During World War II, it was used by the Luftwaffeafter Poland was occupied in September 1939, and then by the SovietAir Force once Lublin was captured by the Red Army in July 1944. TheGermans destroyed the airfield's buildings before withdrawing. In 1949 the Polish government made a decision to build an aviationfactory in Åšwidnik, located next to the airfield. It assembled itsfirst helicopters in 1956, with full-scale production beginning in1957. /images/notams/notams21/lub0919/lublin-2.jpgThe need for an air terminus in Lublin, the 9th biggest city inPoland, has been felt for the better half of the 20th century. In 2008the project received financing backing from the EuropeanUnion. Subsequently, the airport design competition was won by aPolish-Spanish consortium. The architectural design was well receivedby the design community; however, the fit and finish of the completedterminal building fell short of the winning proposal. The contract tobuild the runway was signed in August 2011, with completion in late2012. Operations commenced on December 17, 2012, with a Category Iinstrument landing system. Lublin Airport is currently used by LOT,Ryanair, and Wizz Air. /images/notams/notams21/lub0919/lublin-3.jpgFeaturesHigh-quality model of EPLB Lublin Airport, featuring the up-to-date version with extensive details throughout the whole airportFPS-friendly design, with epic night textures, dynamic lighting, and PBR materialsHigh definition mesh including exact runway profilePerformance-friendly interior modeling at terminal buildings and control tower, advanced night lighting, custom animationsEPSL & EPSW (Åšwidnik) includedLublin City landmarks included /images/notams/notams21/lub0919/lublin-4.jpgPurchase Drzewiecki Design - EPLB Lublin Airport for MSFS 2020 See other Drzewiecki scenery for MSFS 2020
