[1] In 1941, during its occupation of Poznań, Nazi Germany built an aircraft factory at Krzesiny (German: Luftwaffenfliegerhorst Kreising), along with an airfield to service it.
The factory, run by Focke-Wulf, was a target for Allied bombers in the course of the war, on 29 May 1944 for Eighth Air Force.
A Sky Airlines Boeing 737-800 operating flight SKY335 mistook the runway at Krzesiny for the one being used at Ławica.
[3] According to Krzysztof Krawcewicz, a pilot and the editor-in-chief of the Polish monthly Przegląd Lotniczy/Aviation Revue, this was at least the seventh aircraft that mistakenly landed at Poznań–Krzesiny in 2006 alone.
He blamed, amongst other things, the "scandalous procedures which are in use by the air traffic control at Poznań–Ławica" and the lack of radar use in controlling aircraft landing, which exists, but had been turned off by the Polish Air Traffic Agency (Agencja Ruchu Lotniczego).
