With a brand-new European airport expected to open in 2032, aviation enthusiasts now have something new to look forward to: the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) Airport in Poland. The structure, which is expected to create around 150,000 jobs, is set to be built between Warsaw, the country’s capital, and the smaller city of Łódź and aims to elevate Poland as a European travel hub.

Plans have currently allocated 131,700,000,000 Polish złoty towards the project, which translates to just over £26 billion. At present, while Warsaw Chopin Airport is undoubtedly the busiest in Poland, it served 18.5 million passengers in 2023. The CPK project, however, is set to unlock a new era for both local and international travel, as it’s anticipated that it’ll attract 34 million passengers annually.

In fact, it could ever accommodate even more, wielding the potential for expansion depending on demand, with current estimations suggesting this could increase capacity to 44 million passengers each year. ‘We now have the location decision for building of the most modern airport in Europe. This is a critical step in the CPK project, and we are ready to move forward with construction,’ said Poland’s minister of infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak.

The airport’s construction isn’t just intended to improve aviation links to the region: the project also incorporates an expanded railway and road network, including high-speed railway connections throughout the country, served by six underground platforms.
