I second that! If you need any help to get more petitions I'm more than happy to fly over to Berlin then take the train to give you a hand!

More seriously though have you ever contacted airlines that might possibly fly to Poznan? What was their response?

Norwegian seems indeed the airline which might help you! They seem to be very interested in the Polish market! What about Ryanair? Or even better Wizz they might be interested in Poznan since they love locations which are not that central! (Gdansk= Berlin

)

Might take your offer on actually! In the meantime I'd love to see the dossier you have created for them!

What or who is the Lunatic btw?

Hello - this information doesn't have a lot of things to do with aviation but it is abou the city itself

Let me show the pics made by our colleague Subs, yesterday during the celebrations of 50th anniversary of the so called Poznan’s June 1956” – first anti-comunistic revolution which in Poland. There is a web page describing the whole story of 1956. There is a strong connection between this what has happened in Poznan in June 1956 and this what happened in Budapest in October 1956.
Please visit it to learn more – it is in English as well:
www.1956.pl

some decorations/artistic presentations on the streets of Poznan:

Some tram routes had to be changed for celebrations:

Decorated Opera House:

Guests have come

An exibition outside the Emperor’s Castle – a tank and children:

The official part of celebrations took place on Adam Mickiewicz Square – in 1956 – Stalin Square, a place where 100.000 pepole come to protest in 1956:

5 presidents have participated in ceremony – Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish and Slovak:

The plaque comemorating the youngest person who has been killed in June ’56 – among more than 70 people – just 13 years old Romek Strzalkowski:

in the evening there was a very good concert and spectacle at the square; I'll try to find some pics;

greetings

Ok, Vinnie! I think I can show it to You as it will be ready

What they received now is a letter with basic information about the campaign. But they will receive all (has to be translated to English as well) in about 2 weeks

I have to say again that i am very impressed with your efforts. In America, this would be called "yankee ingenuity"

:):)

Great can't wait! Shame I got no knowledge of polish whatsoever! Would get the report quicker + easier with the girls cause miam they look nice in Poland

Does your brochure focus a lot on the Economics or more on the social side?

Count of Luchtzak. But as we are a non-for-profit organisation, we can only provide our sympathy!

Maybe you could also try to convince some businessmen to start an airline based in Poznan. I don't know if it's realistic, but if it works, you might have all the destinations you wish. :rotate:

hello

new air companies have received e-mails with information about our campaign

and still we are searching for sponsors of our bilboard campaign in the city

starosta · Post by **starosta** » 10 Aug 2006, 16:08

We received information (not official) that the German airline Dauair (www.dauair.com) has lost the licence for flying.

It means that Poznan will have no longer connection with Dortmund, Paderborn, Stuttgart and Zurich. It means also that other companies (meyby more known than Dauair) can operate those destinations - specially very good Poznan-Dortmund. I hope to see this connection asap again.

Dauair has had very high prices, what did not disturb people to fly.

Keep on trying! There are better airlines than Dauair!

Wow campaign still going strong!

Looking at all your pics I'd certainly advertise Poznan as being the babe heaven! Though that might not attract the best behaved tourists around it would certainly increase flights to and from Poznan!

^^

I've forgot to tell that this week we organise CONTEST!

People have to fill inquiry - a kind of poll "Where I would like to fly from Poznan" and propose a sentence which should advertise the idea of flying from the Poznan Airport!

The authors of the three best sentences will be awarded with double tickets on routes:
Poznan- Greece - Poznan (charter flight)
Poznan- Munich - Poznan
Poznan- Warsaw - Poznan
