The long-awaited decision on the location of the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) airport has been officially announced by the Masovian Voivode, the head of the Central Polish region. This significant milestone paves the way for securing the necessary building approvals for CPK, marking the beginning of the investment process and advancing Poland’s most ambitious infrastructure project to its next stage.

“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 Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak. 

As part of the CPK Programme, the new central airport is set to initially accommodate 34 million passengers annually, with plans for scalable expansion based on market demand. The project also incorporates a railway and road network, including high-speed rail (HSR) connections throughout Poland. This multimodal strategy aims to improve connectivity, offering seamless links between the airport, key cities, and regional transport systems, positioning the hub as a central point for both air and land travel in the region.

Strategically located between Poland’s capital, Warsaw, and the city of Łódź, CPK is designed to be a state-of-the-art transport hub that integrates air, rail, and road connections. The location decision covers three main components: airport infrastructure, including terminals, runways, taxiways, and facilities for border control, customs, and firefighting services; a railway system with a hub connected in three directions; and a road network featuring newly designed layouts near the airport.

With today’s location announcement, CPK is one step closer to becoming one of Europe’s most modern and strategically vital transport hubs. It will play a key role in Poland’s economic growth and strengthen its connectivity within Central Europe. The development of the CPK airport marks a bold move to establish Poland as a central aviation hub in Europe. By leveraging Polish expertise and innovative infrastructure design, the project will foster enhanced connectivity, support the growth of the aviation sector, and position Poland at the forefront of regional economic development.
