GlossaryGdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Polish: Port Lotniczy Gdańsk im. Lecha Wałęsy, formerly Polish: Port Lotniczy Gdańsk-Rębiechowo) (IATA: GDN, ICAO: EPGD) is an international airport located in Gdańsk, Poland, not far from the city centres of the Tricity metropolitan area: Gdańsk (6.25 miles/10 km), Sopot (6.25 miles/10 km) and Gdynia (14.4 miles/23 km). The airport is named after Lech Wałęsa, the former Polish president. On the outside wall of the terminal building one can see the logo of the airport, which is Lech Wałęsa's actual signature, a stylized "W". The airport opened in 1974 near the village of Rębiechowo (on westernmost land incorporated into the Gdańsk borough of Matarnia in 1973), to replace the previous airport located closer to the city center in the suburb of Wrzeszcz. The airport acquired its current name in 2004. In 2006 it served 1,249,780 passengers (an increase of 84% over the previous year). Half of this number were international passengers. Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport has operated as a private company since 1993. A new terminal was opened in 1997. Gdańsk Airport can be used as a diversionary airport for Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport.
