**PAŻP President Withdraws Resignation After Show of Support**

**Warsaw, Poland –** Magdalena Jaworska-Maćkowiak, President of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PAŻP), has withdrawn her resignation, reversing a decision made last Friday. The news was confirmed by PAŻP spokesperson Marcin Hadaj.

The initial resignation came amid reports of a critical letter from air traffic controller unions concerning ongoing negotiations regarding work regulations and pay. PAŻP is the sole entity in Poland responsible for training and employing civilian air traffic controllers and managing air traffic within the country’s airspace, ensuring the safety of aircraft landing, departing, and transiting Polish territory.

Vice-Minister of Infrastructure Maciej Lasek has publicly expressed his full support for Jaworska-Maćkowiak, emphasizing the importance of her continued leadership. “We are after good conversations and have full confidence. We guarantee full support for the president from the Ministry of Infrastructure in the mission she is carrying out,” Lasek said.

According to Hadaj, Jaworska-Maćkowiak’s continued leadership is crucial for maintaining operational continuity at PAŻP, achieving strategic objectives through 2034, and ensuring readiness for the expected increase in air traffic once the war in Ukraine concludes.

Jaworska-Maćkowiak was appointed President of PAŻP in January 2024, succeeding Anita Oleksiak. Her appointment occurred following a period of turbulence within the agency, which had previously faced a potential crisis involving a large number of air traffic controllers threatening to resign due to disagreements over pay and working conditions. The potential crisis also resulted in the departure of the previous PAŻP president Janusz Janiszewski. The withdrawn resignation means she will stay in position for another, as she has just taken over this role last January, after having been in the same role 7 years prior. During the years between she was part of the Commission of European aviation’s staff.

While her resignation was submitted nearly a week ago, it was never officially forwarded from the Ministry of Infrastructure to the Prime Minister’s office, as confirmed by government spokesperson Adam Szłapka.
