Kraków-Rakowice-Czyżyny Airport, Historical airport in Kraków, Poland.
The airport spans across a large area featuring a 720-meter concrete runway suitable for light aircraft and helicopters at 218.5 meters elevation.
Established in 1912 as a military airfield during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the facility served as one of Poland's principal aviation centers until 1963.
The former airport grounds now house the Polish Aviation Museum, which maintains part of the original runway for special aviation events and displays.
The airport section adjacent to the Polish Aviation Museum reopened in 2004 to accommodate police helicopter operations and annual air show activities.
In 1917, the airport became a crucial stopover point for Europe's first air mail service connecting Vienna with Kyiv and Odessa.
