The airport, which was previously a military airport, opened in May 2014 and was on the verge of a closure due to financial difficulties and lack of interest in securing passenger flights from airlines.
Radom Mayor Radoslaw Witkowski was quoted by thenews.pl as saying: "The aim which we had set ourselves, namely initiating passenger activities at Radom airport, is being realised today.
"Before us is the next challenge – developing a route network which will best serve the interests of the inhabitants of Radom and the users of the airport."
