The airport, located some 6 miles from the city of Szczytno uses largely the infrastructure of the former military airport Szymany. The distance from the airport to the city of Olsztyn is approximately 40 miles.

Currently five carriers have manifested interest in the airport. The regional airline Sprint Air offers flights to Olsztyn from Berlin-Tegel, Krakow and Wroclaw. Three additional airlines are scheduled to initiate operations at Olsztyn Mazury airport in the nearest future.

Apart from Stansted route from Rynair, flights to Olsztyn will be available with Wizzair (from London Luton), LOT Polish Airlines (from Warsaw-Chopin) and Adria Airways (from Munich).

With over a 1000 of different sized bodies of water, many of them interconnected, Mazury offers perfect conditions for sailing and other water sports. Hiking, birdwatching, horse riding and golf are just a few other outdoor activities widely available in this beautiful corner of Poland.
