Poland PLN 1.5 bln for the airport

Infrastructure
The investment programme until 2030 worth more than PLN 1.5 bln has been approved for Katowice's Wojciech Korfanty Airport. The programme will include more than 20 projects, with the construction of a passenger terminal, a cargo terminal, a technical hangar, as well as taking into account changes to the airport's transport system.

The most important investment will be the construction of a new passenger terminal, the area of which in the first stage assumes 50,000 sqm. The project envisages changes to the transport system in front of the airport - a Kiss and Fly zone will be created, and the new terminal will be connected by an underground tunnel to a bus transfer centre and a railway stop.

The project will also include a hub for cargo and fuel handling based on a railway siding.
