Centralwings was a
John Paul II International Airport Kraków-Balice.[1]
On 26 March 2009 the board of LOT Polish Airlines decided to close Centralwings with no information about what was to happen to its employees.
History
The airline was established in December 2004 and started operations in February 2005. Centralwings, as its name suggests, competed in the Central European market, namely Poland, with a fleet of LOT Boeing 737 aircraft.
Centralwings operated scheduled services from
Paris Beauvais and Rome
. Its schedule of just under 30 routes ceased in October 2008.
On 26 March 2009 Centralwings ceased some of its operations. The decision was made by LOT Polish Airlines because the airline was unprofitable. Centralwings continued to operate until the end 2009.

- 3 Boeing 737-300
- 8 Boeing 737-400
- 1 McDonnell Douglas MD-80 (leased from MAP Executive Flight Service)
As of 11 September 2008, the average age of the Centralwings fleet was 13 years.[3]
