 This leaves the 655-metre grass RWY 07/25 as the sole working runway.The airport was built in the 1920s, and was used for civil aviation including scheduled passenger traffic, starting in 1926 with service to Warsaw, later also to Cracow, Vienna via Brno.Ground damage due to coal-mining activity eliminated the passenger traffic, and now only the sport use remains with infrequent general aviation arrivals and departures.
