Looks like your Poznan campaign has been largely successful! Congratulations!

It's the Krakow statistics that jump out at me though - I suppose the decline is largely the result of SkyEurope's decision to close they're Krakow base, and the demise of Centralwings. Do you know if the airport have any plans to address this decline - or if another lowcost airline might be prepared to open a base there? I do miss the cheap (and well timed) Brussels-Krakow connection.
