Location decision issued for CPK Airport

On 10 January 2025, the long-anticipated location decision for the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) airport has been officially issued by the Masovian Voivode, Head of the Central Polish region (Województwo Mazowiecke). This milestone marks a crucial step toward securing building approvals for CPK, effectively initiating the investment process and advancing Poland's most ambitious infrastructure project to its next phase.

The designated area for the airport and part of the railway hub spans an impressive 2,585 hectares, nearly half of which has been purchased by the CPK. A significant milestone in the project has been the success of the Voluntary Acquisition Programme, an unprecedented initiative in Poland that ensures property acquisition is conducted respectfully and cooperatively. More than 90 % of local property owners with residential buildings in the designated area have already agreed to the programme. 

Located strategically between Poland’s capital, and the city of Łódź, CPK is designed to be a cutting-edge transportation hub integrating air, rail, and road connections. The location decision encompasses three critical components: airport infrastructure, including a terminal, runways, taxiways, and facilities for border control, customs, and firefighting services; a railway system, featuring a hub with connections in three directions and the necessary infrastructure; and a road network comprising newly designed layouts in the airport’s immediate vicinity.

As part of the CPK Programme, the new central airport will initially serve 34 million passengers annually, with scalable expansion planned based on market growth. Additionally, the project includes a railway and road component, integrating high-speed lines within Poland.
