Poland’s incredible new £7bn mega-airport set to carry 40 million passengers a year
The transport hub will integrate air, rail and road transport and be for both civil and military use.
A staggering new £7billion airport that could carry up to 40 million passengers a year is set to be built in Poland.
The new transport hub in the county's capital Warsaw will integrate air, rail and road transport and carry the astonishing number of passengers a year.
Named the Solidarity Transport Hub - and also known as The Central Communication Port - it will be developed by Polish state company Centralny Port Komunikacyjny and it is expected to play a significant role in the security of the country as well as wider Europe.
The railway and road components will be located close to the airport and railway connections will whisk passengers between Warsaw and other large Polish cities. The journey to Warsaw Central Railway station will only be 15 minutes and 25 minutes to Łódź Fabryczna railway station.
The Central Communication Port website says: "The general vision is to create an airport which is prudent, well planned, properly designed, efficient for airlines and comfortable for passengers.
"An airport which has sustainability written in its roots and at the end of the day delivers value for money, while creating a world class facility. The CPK will commercially extend beyond its borders and create cohesive space for commerce and transport."
It’s hoped it will make international travel easier and less reliant on air travel as a high-speed connection to Frankfurt, Germany, is also planned, meaning it will take less than three-and-a-half hours to get to Berlin from the megaproject.
The airport is expected to be completed by the end of 2027 with the remaining part of the railway component set to be finished by 2034.
The website added: "The CPK railway system will be based on approximately 2000 km of new high-speed-rail (HSR) lines and 3700 km modernised railway lines. Completion of the CPK railway program is one of the biggest ongoing engineering projects in Central Europe.

"It involves the adoption of finest HSR design standards, technical parameters and planning procedures, many of which will be implemented for the first time in the entire region."
Poland and South Korea signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in December 2021 to cooperate on the Solidarity Transport Hub.
The Solidarity Airport is also listed in the EU’s investment priorities.
