Poland’s accession to the European Union and opening the skies to low-cost carriers have triggered increase in air transport. The number of regular flights, passenger traffic, and the volumes of the cargo handled in Gdańsk are growing year by year.
The Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport services direct flights to almost 30 cities in Europe, including major international transit ports in Warsaw, Frankfurt on the Mein, Copenhagen, Munich, and the airports taking the prime European low-costs. The network of the available airway links enables swift and efficient transfer of people and cargo from the Gdańsk Metropolitan Area to any location in the world.
Alongside the expansion of the existing airport, another option is pondered, i.e. the potential building of another civilian airport in the metropolis. The other facility would increase the overall capacity by far more planes, passengers, and cargo, within a radius extending far beyond the borders of the Pomeranian Voivodship.
