Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (IATA: RZE, ICAO: EPRZ) is an international airport in southeastern Poland, in Jasionka, a village 10 km from the center of the city of Rzeszów. It is the seventh-busiest airport in Poland, and is about to become the third airport in Poland (after Warsaw and Kraków) with transatlantic connections.
The Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport features the second-longest runway among the Polish airports: 3200 m x 45 m. In 2006 it registered a 126% increase in passenger traffic (206,934). Coupled with the September 2006 start of the construction on a new passenger terminal, this means that the airport is undergoing a rapid expansion.
As of January 24, 2006 it has regularly scheduled international traffic with Dublin and London's London Stansted Airport, in addition to its domestic connection with Warsaw. On June 2, 2007 LOT Polish Airlines will commence Boeing 767 service to New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.
