Transport helicopters instead of airliners: at Leźnica Wielka near Łęczyca in the Łódź Voivodeship, the Polish Land Forces maintain an army aviation base. Stationed here is an aviation unit of the 25th Air Cavalry Brigade, whose Mi-8/Mi-17 and W-3 Sokół helicopters provide the brigade's air mobility. The garrison village has grown closely around the field; there are no civilian scheduled services. Nor is there any civilian cargo activity; the nearest cargo alternative is Warsaw (IATA: WAW, approx. 130 km), with Łódź (IATA: LCJ, approx. 40 km) as the nearest passenger airport.
