CPK Project Not Downsized. Airport Network May Emerge in Mazovia

Polish government plenipotentiary for CPK Maciej Lasek has dismissed claims that Poland’s new Central Communication Port (CPK) project in Mazovia has been downsized, stating instead that adjustments reflect realistic market needs. In a recent interview, he explained that the decision to limit Phase One to 34 million passengers was inherited, and the current plan improves scalability without reducing scope.
Lasek also revealed that several regional airports, such as Warsaw-Modlin and Radom, will be upgraded to form a complementary network, easing pressure on CPK and enhancing national transport resilience. The CPK train station in Baranów is being designed for high-speed through traffic, potentially merging Warsaw and Łódź into a shared megacity with rapid transit links.
He emphasized integrating Poland’s national carrier, LOT, into CPK by ensuring it secures at least 50% of flight slots, reinforcing the airport’s operational foundation.
Overall, Lasek portrayed CPK as a balanced, phased infrastructure set to launch around 2032.
