Polish airports want to be listed
Poland’s airport sector is investing about PLN 50 bln in expansion, including over PLN 8 bln by regional airports. With no more EU funding available, the industry must find new financing sources to support rapidly growing passenger traffic and continuous infrastructure development.
Many regional airports are owned by local governments with limited budgets, prompting discussions about raising capital through stock market listings or bond issues. For example, Katowice Airport is implementing a major investment program, including new passenger and cargo terminals and maintenance facilities.
Experts argue that airports need large amounts of capital quickly, as projects cannot be built gradually. Entering capital markets could improve funding access and transparency, helping sustain long term growth in one of Europe’s fastest growing aviation markets.
