History

edit

The station was formerly known as Gdańsk Lotnisko (English: Gdańsk Airport) because it was the closest station to the old Wrzeszcz airport (but located a considerable distance away from the terminal). After the closure of said airport in 1974, this district of the city was developed and its name changed. The purpose of the station changed from providing connections to the airport, to serving the residents of the district.

When Pope John Paul II celebrated mass in the nearby Zaspa quarter during his 1987 pilgrimage to Gdańsk the stop played a significant role: almost a million citizens reached this location via the SKM service.
