Summary
Poland is celebrating the 100th anniversary of regaining independence and in the same time the 100th anniversary of Polish aviation. New airlines were set up in different regions of the country, but only one of them, Greater Poland-based Aero covered regular passenger flights between Warsaw and Poznań. They were not subsidized or covered by support programs based on public funds, which caused the closing of DirectFly airlines in 2007, after only 2 years of providing domestic connections operated by 33-seat planes Saab 340 A, including connections from Warsaw.
