Nearly 1.5 million passengers in Gdansk in the first quarter of 2026

In the first three months of 2026, Gdansk Airport handled 1,476,668 passengers. This is 7.1% more than in the same period of 2025. There were 13,066 flight operations, an increase of 14% compared to last year. Charter traffic grew significantly.“The growth rate of passengers handled in the first quarter of this year is slightly lower than we had planned. It stands at 7%, whereas we expected 10%. However, we still anticipate that over the course of the entire year, passenger traffic will increase enough to exceed 8 million passengers. The turbulence in air traffic related to the conflict in the Middle East has not affected us so far. Namely, during the winter period, Gdansk Airport does not have many charter connections to the Middle East or to regions reached via airports such as Doha or Dubai which have been affected by the war. Looking at the entire aviation market, only some flights are currently being canceled, and ticket prices must be higher due to rising aviation fuel costs. However, there is no need to raise the alarm yet - let us continue to monitor the situation, especially how the summer season develops,” commented Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport.The most popular destinations chosen by our passengers in the first quarter of this year were London (106,494) and Oslo (92,508), followed by Copenhagen (88,890) in third place.We have seen a significant increase in non-scheduled air traffic, including charter flights. In the first quarter of 2026, we handled 80,714 passengers, a rise of 62.2% compared to the same period in 2025. The largest number of travelers flew to Egypt, Turkey, Spain, and Morocco.In scheduled traffic, the largest market share in the first quarter of 2026 was held by Wizz Air, which accounted for 46.9% of connections in Gdansk. It was followed by Ryanair (34.1%) and LOT Polish Airlines (5%) in third place.In the first three months of 2026, “Port Lotniczy” [Airport] Company generated PLN 13.983 million in sales profit and PLN 12.997 million in net profit.During the first quarter of this year, 2,642 tonnes of cargo were handled at our Airport.

Changing places facilities at Gdansk Airport

A changing places facility [Polish: “komfortka”] is a room equipped with a changing table or a couch with a lift that can accommodate and lift both a child and an adult. We have installed a total of four ceiling lifts on rails and four foldable and adjustable wall couches at the Airport.We have changing places facilities in four locations in the Passenger Terminal. One is located in the public area, on the ground floor, behind the check-in desks. The second is in the Baggage Claim Hall, on the ground floor. The third is located in the Departure Hall, in the Schengen area, behind the exit from the Aelia shop. The fourth is in the non-Schengen area. The rooms are marked with special graphics. “At Gdansk Airport, we strive to ensure the comfort of all passengers, including those with special needs. We are very keen to improve accessibility. Thanks to feedback from passengers, we have decided to install special lifts and couches in four bathrooms in the Passenger Terminal to serve people with disabilities and their carers," says Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport. The Airport’s changing places facilities were also visited by Sylwia Błach - a blogger, writer and author of books, including children’s books about disability such as “Nie znajdziesz mnie po śladach stóp” (English: “You Won’t Find Me by My Footprints”). A wheelchair user herself, she leads a very active lifestyle and travels frequently. “I am a huge fan of Changing Places facilities, because they give people with disabilities greater independence. Having such facilities at the airport will make travelling much easier for us,” she said.The hoists and changing benches installed in the Airport’s changing places facilities were supplied and installed by LeviCare.

A new airline operates flights from Gdansk to Iceland

Icelandair will launch service this autumn offering direct connections to Reykjavík. Among other things, this airline offers passengers very attractive connections to North America. Gdansk is the first airport in Poland from which Icelandair will operate.From September 18, 2026, the carrier will launch three weekly flights between Gdansk and Keflavík International Airport - on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. From October 25 to March 15, an additional Saturday flight will be added. The aircraft will depart from Iceland at 7:20 a.m. and land in Gdansk at 11:55 a.m. The return flight from Gdansk is scheduled for 12:50 p.m., with arrival at 3:50 p.m.Passengers landing at the Icelandic hub in Keflavík will be able to take advantage of convenient connections to major North American cities, including New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Miami, as well as to Canada - Toronto and Vancouver. Iceland has an excellent location midway between Europe and North America.Icelandair is the 12th airline in the route network from Gdansk. Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the first airport in Poland chosen by this new airline.“The new connection is a major milestone for Icelandair. For the first time, we are entering the Polish market. It is a positive step on many levels: it facilitates travel home for the Polish diaspora and Icelanders alike, while positioning Iceland as a hub for travelers seeking direct connections to Iceland or onward flights to North America. The location of our hub allows us to efficiently serve the market, and we are pleased to open our doors to Poland,” said Bogi Nils Bogason, CEO of Icelandair.“As a regional airport, we are growing and strengthening our role in the European route network, serving around 100 destinations and significant international traffic. We are part of a larger transport and economic system, where strong aviation hubs such as London, Oslo and Copenhagen help drive the traffic and regional accessibility. Now, Reykjavík - Keflavík joins this group thanks to Icelandair, offering connections - including transatlantic ones - with very convenient transfers,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport.Thanks to the route operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, Gdansk is becoming a new gateway to Iceland, which is home to a growing Polish community. This new route will make it easier for Poles to stay in touch with their relatives in the home country, while Icelanders living in Poland will find it easier to visit their families in Reykjavík.Icelandair, founded in 1937, is the national carrier of Iceland domiciled in Reykjavík. The airline offers connections to nearly 70 destinations - not only in North America but also across Europe.

ORP Sokół lands at Gdansk Airport

The terminal of Gdansk Airport has become the home port for a submarine - specifically, a replica of ORP Sokół.The original vessel is located at the Naval Museum in Gdynia, along the representative Seaside Boulevard. From 2002 to 2018, the submarine served in the Polish Navy, taking part in numerous allied and national exercises, mainly in the Baltic Sea.The appearance of the ORP Sokół model in the airport setting is the result of cooperation between Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, and Tomasz Miegoń, Director of the Naval Museum in Gdynia.The passenger terminal space was considered an excellent place to showcase one of flagship exhibits of the Museum of Gdynia. The submarine model may intrigue and attract the Airport passengers while also promoting one of Gdynia’s major tourist attractions.The ORP Sokół model measures 23.7 meters in length and was made at a 1:20 scale using polyester materials. The replica was created by a renowned Gdansk model maker, Tomasz Poręba, whose works enrich exhibitions in many museums across Gdynia, Gdansk and the Pomeranian region.History of ORP Sokół:1. On February 14, 1967, the flag of the Royal Norwegian Navy was raised on the submarine KNM Stord (S-308). Kobben-class submarines were built to strengthen NATO’s northern flank. With financial support from the United States, as many as 15 vessels of this type were constructed between 1964 and 1967. They were based in Bergen until the early 21st century, when a decision was made to decommission them. 2. On June 4, 2002, the vessel entered service in the Polish Navy as ORP Sokół, the third ship to bear this name under the Polish flag. It was the first of four Kobben-class submarines (Sokół, Kondor, Sęp, and Bielik) in the Submarine Squadron.3. On June 8, 2018, ORP Sokół ended its service under the white-and-red flag. All Polish Kobben-class submarines were decommissioned between 2017 and 2022.In 2020, the Naval Museum in Gdynia took over Sokół. Work to adapt the vessel for exhibition purposes continued until November 2024. 4. In 2025, ORP Sokół was opened to visitors.
