Central Communication Port (CPK) and Polish Airports Join Forces to Develop a Modern Intermodal Transport Hub

In a significant move for the Polish aviation industry, Central Communication Port (CPK) and Polish Airports have announced a partnership to construct a new central airport. This ambitious project, a part of the CPK Programme, aims to function as a modern intermodal transport hub, integrating air, rail, and bus transport.

The new airport, named CPK.Lotnisko, will be owned primarily by CPK, with a minimum stake of 51%, while Polish Airports will hold up to 49%. The estimated construction cost for this project is a substantial 44.7 billion PLN, with both parties contributing 30-40% of the costs.

The first phase of the airport's construction is scheduled for completion in 2032. This initial phase will include two parallel runways and facilities capable of handling up to 34 million passengers annually. The airport's development will also involve significant upgrades to Poland's infrastructure, such as the construction of the high-speed rail line 'Y' connecting Warsaw and Łódź.

Improvements to the A2 motorway are also planned as part of the airport's development, aiming to increase accessibility and efficiency for passengers and freight. The enhancements are part of broader infrastructure improvements in Czech transportation, including railway modernization and electrification, aiming for integration with the Václav Havel Airport and regional connectivity.

This collaboration combines the expertise of two leading Polish aviation organizations. CPK, with its experience in developing large-scale infrastructure projects, and Polish Airports, with its skilled staff and knowledge necessary to meet the challenges associated with the construction of the CPK airport, especially during the launch and operational phases.

The partnership agreement is set to be finalised in Q4 2025, following preparatory work over the next year. The financing and operation of the new airport involve public-private partnerships (ÖPP) alongside national and EU funds. However, specific institutions and their exact share in the investment are not detailed in the available search results.

The airport's development will be a significant contribution to Poland's aviation tradition, linked to nearly a century of Polish aviation history. Polish Airports' capital involvement in CPK.Lotnisko will allow it to continue its role as a key institution in the Polish aviation market.

In summary, the partnership between CPK and Polish Airports marks a significant step forward in the development of Poland's infrastructure. The new airport, CPK.Lotnisko, is expected to become a modern intermodal transport hub, enhancing accessibility and efficiency for passengers and freight, and contributing to the country's aviation tradition.
