When will the Poland's newest airport Olsztyn-Mazury (in Szmany) open, and where will it fly to?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew when Poland's newest airport - Olsztyn-Mazury - will open.

According to Wikipedia, the airport is due to start accepting scheduled flights this month; however, I also remember reading somewhere a while ago that it would not be until early 2016 before the airport was fully functional or flying all flights (I can't remember exactly what I read).

By the looks of it, Ryanair will be one of the carriers that uses the airport, and there will be flights to Germany, Scandinavia and the UK - I'm guessing to Stansted, but don't know about elsewhere. Does anyone know any further details about where it might fly, as well as how often, or how much flights might be (particularly in relation to flights to/from Stansted or the rest of the UK). Also, does anyone know when these international flights will begin (again, particularly in relation to flights to/from Stansted or the rest of the UK).

Finally, I read that the railway line between Olsztyn and the airport was being repaired/extended. Does anyone know if this is on schedule and when it will open, as well as how often the trains will go. I also read that they were considering renovating a disused track between Bialystock and the airport, which ran via Ostroleka. Does anyone know anything about this, such as whether or not it will happen, when it would open, how often it would run etc.?

I have tried looking online but my Polish isn't great, so I rely on Google Translate, which isn't great. Anyway, all I have found are old stories or uninformative content, plus the main airport website doesn't seem to be much help. So thanks for anyone who can help with any information about any of the points that I mentioned!
