Lodz Airport: Anna Midera (Ph. D)- New President of the Board of the Association of Polish Regional Airports

Anna Midera, PhD, President of Łódź Airport, has been elected President of the Board of the Association of Polish Regional Airports (ZRPL). This organization represents the airport industry in Poland.

The Association of Regional Airports was established to foster cooperation, share information and experiences among regional airports in Poland, and to address contentious issues or implement legislative changes jointly. The Association includes 11 out of 15 airports in Poland: Bydgoszcz Airport, Gdansk Airport, Katowice Airport, Kraków Airport, Lublin Airport, Łódź Airport Central Poland, Warsaw-Modlin Airport, Olsztyn-Mazury Airport, Poznań Airport, Rzeszów Ulma Family Airport, and Wrocław Airport.

On Thursday, (July, 11th)  during the general assembly of the Association in Warsaw, the airport heads elected Anna Midera, the managing director of Łódź Airport, as the new president of the Association. She will combine this role with her current position as President of Łódź Airport.
I am pleased with the election and the trust placed in me by Polish regional airports. My role will be a continuation of the efforts made by previous boards, aimed at increasing the significance of Polish regional airports, but with my personal touch of femininity and diversity. We have a lot of work ahead. Aviation is recovering from the pandemic crisis but faces challenges related to digitization, green transformation, and our national challenges due to the rapidly growing passenger traffic at regional airports,” said President Anna Midera.
The election of vice presidents will take place at the next meeting of the regional airport heads.

Anna Midera has been the President of Łódź Airport since April 2017. Previously, she was a member of the airport's board for six months. She worked at the Ministry of Infrastructure as the director and deputy director of the Department of Transport Policy and International Affairs, where she led projects such as negotiations with the European Commission on the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and the development of the Transport Development Strategy until 2020 (with a perspective until 2030). She collaborated with the team of Minister Michał Boni (Prime Minister Donald Tusk's advisory team on the Poland 2030 - The Third Wave of Modernity document from 2009-2011). Subsequently, she was the director of the Strategy and International Cooperation Department at the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency.
She is a graduate of the University of Łódź, where she worked for 13 years, first as an assistant and then as an adjunct professor in the Department of International Economic Relations.
