In the year 2032, a shiny new airport will grace the European skies, bringing excitement to aviation enthusiasts everywhere. The Centralny Port Komunikacyjny Airport, located in Poland, is set to open its doors and elevate the country as a prime travel hub. Positioned between the bustling city of Warsaw and the quaint town of ��ódź, this structure is projected to generate over 150,000 job opportunities.
To make this dream a reality, a whopping 131.7 billion Polish złoty, equivalent to £26 billion, has been allocated towards the project. This investment is expected to pay off, as the current busiest airport in Poland, Warsaw Chopin Airport, served 18.5 million passengers in 2023. However, with the opening of CPK Airport, this number is expected to skyrocket to 34 million annually. And, with the potential for expansion based on demand, it could even accommodate up to 44 million passengers per year.
Dariusz Klimczak, the Minister of Infrastructure in Poland, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, "We now have the location decision for building the most modern airport in Europe. This is a critical step in the CPK project, and we are ready to move forward with construction."
The CPK Airport will not only serve as a gateway for international travel but also improve transportation within the region. The project includes an expanded railway and road network, including high-speed train connections throughout the country. The airport will have six underground platforms, with an estimated 40% of passengers traveling to the airport via train. The journey from Warsaw Central to CPK Airport is expected to take only 20 minutes, and 40 minutes from Warsaw Central to ��ódź.
Upon its opening, the CPK Airport will have two parallel runways, each measuring 3,800 meters in length. The midfield will feature a passenger terminal and railway station, spanning 2,500 meters. In comparison, London Heathrow Airport, which served 83.9 million passengers in 2024, also has two runways, with the Northern runway measuring 3,902 meters and the Southern runway measuring 3,658 meters.
The airport plans include a third runway, which will be reserved for future expansion, depending on the airport's popularity. Construction is set to begin in 2026, and already, 2,585 hectares of land have been approved for the project. This ambitious venture is expected to bring convenience and efficiency to travelers, as well as boost Poland's economy.
