Katowice Airport is at Pyrzowice, about 30 km north of the city, and it is open around the clock. Anyone arranging private jet charter at Katowice is helped by a 3,200 metre runway, long enough for any business jet, and by a general aviation site of its own.
The airport's general aviation team offers meet-and-greet, refuelling, permits and limousine transfers, and LS Airport Services and Excel Handling also work here. Charter-A arranges the aircraft and coordinates all of it with the handlers, subject to availability and confirmed at booking. The airport is also a practical choice for travellers heading anywhere in the Upper Silesian conurbation, not only Katowice itself.
