Warsaw Airport serviced record 11 mln passengers

As many as 11.11 million passengers have already been handled at Chopin Airport in 2015. Never before have so many people used the services of Warsaw airport. The lucky 11 millionth passenger flew to Warsaw from Vienna by LOT Polish Airlines . After landing she was greeted with a musical parade, rain of confetti and cake. “This is a unique event for us, because for the first time in the history the airport in Warsaw exceeds 11 million passengers handled. We join the largest and most important airports in Central Europe. We are proud that our daily work, as well as close cooperation with our partners - mainly with LOT – brings a steady increase in traffic and such good results," said Michał Kaczmarzyk, director of Chopin Airport. Chopin Airport's previous best result was achieved in 2013 when it handled 10.6 million passengers. The current capacity of the airport is more than 26 million passengers a year. The increase is mainly down to the finalisation of the most important investments, primarily reconstruction of the "beetroot" part of the terminal, as well as  launch of a new check-in zone of LOT Polish Airlines in October.
