Warsaw Chopin Airport is recording a systematic increase in the number of passengers and already serves approximately 40 thousand passengers a day which is over 3/4 of them before the pandemic. The first three months of 2022 also at the Warsaw / Modlin Airport confirm the revival of passenger traffic.

On April 28 this year, the Chopin Airport handled 38,945 people. In the record year of 2019, 51,322 passengers were handled on that day, but the upward trend is better visible if to compare the traffic with the year 2021, in which 9,090 passengers travelled on April 28.

Just before the May holidays, Chopin Airport has already handled 40,120 people.

“Traffic at Chopin Airport is growing rapidly. Our current data clearly confirms this. If we compare this year’s results from March to last year’s data, we will see an almost 230% increase. In the first quarter of 2022, we handled over 2 million passengers; this is a much better result than forecasts said”, stated the president of the PPL company, Stanisław Wojtera, managing the port.

“It shows how much we missed flying and how much Poles want to return to travelling. As the Chopin Airport, we will make sure that this rapidly growing traffic is handled comfortably”, he added.

Meanwhile, in the first quarter, 525.5 thousand passengers used the services of the airport in Modlin near Warsaw which provided 4.5 thousand air operations. It was, respectively, 73% of the volume of passengers and almost 90% of take-off and landing operations, compared to the same period of 2019.

“The dynamic reconstruction of air traffic is favoured by lifting restrictions on travelling in Europe, including Poland. The offer of flights from our airport in the scheduled season of Summer 2022, covering a total of 57 destinations, will certainly be of interest to our passengers. However, further undisturbed development depends on the end of the war in Ukraine”, said Tomasz Szymczak, acting president of the management board of Mazowiecki Airport Warszawa-Modlin.
