The Polish government is rapidly moving forward with plans for Poland’s new mega-airport. This major infrastructure project – now officially called Solidarity Airport – Central Transport Hub (abbreviated as CTH) (in Polish: Port Solidarność – Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (abbreviated as CPK)) – involves:
- Construction of a new hub airport 40 km from Warsaw
- Reconfiguration and extension of Poland’s rail network with CTH as its hub
- Extension of the nearby A2 motorway along with numerous ring roads
- Closure of Warsaw’s existing Chopin airport and transfer of its airport functions to CTH
- Development of a new city neighboring CTH
The target date for initial operation is 2027.
