There are plans to convert an ex-military airfield in Modlin, 20 kilometers (12 mi) north of Warsaw, into an airport for low-cost carriers, cargo and charter traffic. It will not be ready for use before 2008 at the earliest.There also are long-term plans to build an entirely new international airport. Its location has not yet been decided.
