Copernicus Wrocław Airport is a low-elevation field at 404 ft (123 m), positioned at 51.1037° N, 16.8821° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 8,212 ft / 2,503 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Warsaw (CEST, UTC+02:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Osiedle Kosmonautów is the closest retained city-time anchor at 6.2 km. PED Pardubice is the closest retained airport alternative at 145 km.
WRO is compared with KTW Katowice at 170 km, LCJ Łódź at 188 km, KRK Balice at 235 km, WMI Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki at 299 km, WAW Warsaw at 306 km inside the retained Poland airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

OurAirports classifies WRO as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
WRO (EPWR) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 3.8 million passengers, operating from a low-elevation field at 404 ft (123 m).
WRO sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
WRO's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 8,212 ft / 2,503 m and source surfaces recorded as conc-asph.
A specific operator or management record for WRO is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at airport.wroclaw.pl, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
WRO uses Europe/Warsaw (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Copernicus Wrocław Airport is about 10 km from central Wrocław; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
PED Pardubice is the closest retained alternate at 145 km, time difference +0h.
airport.wroclaw.pl is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place WRO inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
WRO ranks #6 in the curated Poland airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 6 airports.
WRO shares Europe/Warsaw with KRK Balice PL · KTW Katowice PL · LCJ Łódź PL · WAW Warsaw PL · WMI Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki PL. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
WRO is 404 ft (123 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include MUX 403 ft (123 m) (1 ft delta) · FKB 408 ft (124 m) (4 ft delta) · RMO 399 ft (122 m) (5 ft delta) · KZN 411 ft (125 m) (7 ft delta) · ADB 412 ft (126 m) (8 ft delta).
WRO's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are PED 145 km +0h · KTW 170 km +0h · LCJ 188 km +0h · PRG 216 km +0h.

Central Wrocław is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Wrocław is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Copernicus Wrocław Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from WRO, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Copernicus Wrocław Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Pardubice (PED), Katowice (KTW), Łódź (LCJ). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
