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.

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.
