Lublin Airport (Port Lotniczy Lublin) (IATA: LUZ, ICAO: EPLB) is a regional international airport serving the city of Lublin and the eastern part of Poland. The airport is located approximately 10 km east of the city center near the town of Swidnik. It operates a single asphalt runway (07/25) measuring 2520 m x 45 m with paved shoulders and is equipped with a Category I Instrument Landing System and modern airfield lighting. The terminal and apron infrastructure support operations of narrow-body aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families and allow handling of several aircraft simultaneously.

Construction of the current airport began in 2010 and the facility officially opened on 17 December 2012. The project, partly financed by European Union development funds, replaced the former Swidnik airfield (ICAO: EPSW), a grass runway facility used primarily by the nearby aviation manufacturing plant.

The aviation history of Swidnik dates back to 1935, when the original airfield was built as a pilot training center and officially opened on 4 June 1939 by the Airborne and Antigas Defence League, an organization promoting aviation education in Poland. During World War II the airfield was used by the German Luftwaffe and later by the Soviet Air Force after the Red Army captured Lublin in July 1944.

In 1949 the Polish government established an aviation manufacturing complex next to the airfield, later known as the PZL Swidnik helicopter factory. Helicopter assembly began in 1956 and full-scale production started in 1957, making the facility one of the most important helicopter manufacturing centers in Poland.

Today EPLB serves as an important regional airport connecting eastern Poland with several European destinations, supporting tourism, business travel, and regional economic development.
