==== Airport ==== The conurbation's main airport, [[Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport]], lays approximately {{convert|25|km|mi}} south-west of central Gdynia, and has connections to approximately 55 destinations. It is the third largest airport in Poland.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historia lotniska |url=http://www.airport.gdansk.pl/airport/airport_history |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918212635/http://www.airport.gdansk.pl/airport/airport_history |archive-date=18 September 2013 |access-date=12 March 2013 |website=Airport.Gdansk.pl |publisher=[[Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport]]}}</ref> A second [[General Aviation]] terminal was scheduled to be opened by May 2012, which will increase the airport's capacity to 5mln passengers per year. Another local airport, ([[Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport]]) is situated partly in the village of [[Kosakowo, Pomeranian Voivodeship|Kosakowo]], just to the north of the city, and partly in Gdynia. This has been a military airport since the World War II, but it has been decided in 2006 that the airport will be used to serve civilians.<ref>{{cite web |title=About airport |url=http://airport.gdynia.pl/en |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521143543/http://airport.gdynia.pl/en |archive-date=21 May 2013 |access-date=12 March 2013 |work=Airport.Gdynia.pl |publisher=Port Lotniczy Gdynia-Kosakowo}}</ref> Work was well in progress and was due to be ready for 2012 when the project collapsed following a February 2014 EU decision regarding Gdynia city funding as constituting unfair competition to Gdańsk airport. In March 2014, the airport management company filed for bankruptcy, this being formally announced in May that year. The fate of some PLN 100 million of public funds from Gdynia remain unaccounted for with documents not being released, despite repeated requests for such from residents to the city president, [[Wojciech Szczurek]].
