Polish airports with 11% passengers growth this year – PwC

According to consultancy PwC, the number of passengers serviced by the Polish airports this year will grow by 11 percent to 37.8 million. In 2016, there were 34.2 passengers that traveled through Polish facilities. “We've slowly reaching the goal of one traveler per citizen. Last year it was 0.9, while in 2015 for one Pole there was 0.8 air travel,” Michał Szyk from the PwC said. According to the report, the main reason for the increased travel include increased number of routes offered by air carriers and lower ticket prices. The biggest Polish airport – Warsaw Chopin, services 12.8 million passengers last year, representing a 14 percent growth. The fastest growing airports in terms of passengers serviced last year, include Lublin facility (43 percent growth) and the Kraków one (18 percent growth). Despite growing number of passengers, some airports will face tough times this year, among them are terminals in Łódź and Bydgoszcz, PwC wrote in its report.
