Environmental Protection

Environmental Protection
John Paul II Kraków-Balice International Airport Ltd. is cautious about meeting the regulations of environmental protection which apply to the functioning of the airport on the basis of the current decisions, permits and guidelines of:

Małopolska Voivodship Office in Kraków, in realisation of the tasks of the Voivode which are included in the activities of government administration.

Małopolska Voivodship Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in Kraków, in required decisions, permits and records.

Marshal’s Office of Małopolska Voivodship in Kraków, within the range of:
  • Water and legal permits
  • Permits for discharge of hazardous materials and other waste
  • Permits for gas and dust emission
  • Suitable fees for utilisation of the environment.


With a view to improve and increase the safety of flight operations, including take-offs and landings, in September 2003 a control unit for the functioning of the airport was created, which has since been responsible for monitoring and controlling existing obstacles and those emerging within the operative area of the airport. Considering the preventive nature of the control unit to the functioning of the airport, the Kraków Inspectorate of PZU Życie (Public Life Insurance Company) partially subsidised the purchase of computer equipment indispensable to its functioning.
