Międzylesie Airport

Functional obsolescence and a shift in medical transport technology. The airfield was a sanitary airstrip primarily used by fixed-wing air ambulances. The Polish Medical Air Rescue service (LPR - Lotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe) transitioned to an all-helicopter fleet for hospital transport. Helicopters are more versatile and do not require a long runway, making the airfield redundant. A modern, smaller helipad was built on-site to serve the hospital's needs, leading to the decommissioning of the grass runway.

The site of the former 650-meter grass runway is now a large, open meadow, though its outline is still clearly visible from satellite imagery. The land remains part of the hospital's grounds. The primary aviation function for the hospital has been entirely replaced by a modern, concrete helipad (officially 'Lądowisko Szpital CZD', ICAO: EPIM), which is located on the western edge of the old airfield's grounds. This helipad is actively used by air ambulance helicopters. The remainder of the former airfield serves as a green space and a clear approach and departure zone for the active helipad.

The airfield's sole and vital purpose was to serve as a sanitary/medical airstrip for the adjacent 'Instytut 'Pomnik - Centrum Zdrowia Dziecka'' (The Children's Memorial Health Institute), one of Poland's most important and specialized pediatric hospitals. From the hospital's opening in the 1970s until the early 2000s, the grass runway was used by fixed-wing aircraft, such as the PZL-104 Wilga and Antonov An-2, to transport critically ill children from all over Poland for life-saving treatment. It was a crucial component of the national medical transport infrastructure for several decades.

Virtually zero. There are no known plans or prospects to reopen the fixed-wing airfield. Its original purpose is now fulfilled more effectively by the modern on-site helipad. The surrounding Międzylesie neighborhood has become a dense suburban area of Warsaw, and re-establishing a runway for fixed-wing aircraft would be impractical, economically unjustifiable, and would likely face significant opposition from local residents due to noise and safety concerns.
