Almost 3.7 million passengers at Gdansk in the first half of 2026

During the first six months of 2026, Gdansk Airport handled 3,694,606 passengers. This is 11 per cent more than in the same period of 2025. There were 31,754 flight operations, 14 per cent more than a year ago. Charter traffic increased by almost 16 per cent.

“Air traffic figures show that passengers are not discouraged by the global situation and the crises we are facing. We have seen an 11 per cent increase in passengers served in the first half of the year, and I consider this to be a spectacular result. Over these two quarters, there were nearly 16 per cent more tourists in the charter sector who have already flown to destinations including Turkey and Egypt. However, the summer holidays will tell us the most about the whole year, but we are observing significant increases even now. “In June this year alone, Wizz Air carried 28 per cent more passengers in Gdansk than in June 2025, Ryanair carried almost 16 per cent more, and LOT carried over 26 per cent more,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport.

In the first six months of 2026, Gdansk Airport handled 282,798 passengers on charter flights, exactly 15.8 per cent more than in the corresponding period of 2025. The largest numbers of passengers travelled to Antalya in Turkey and to Marsa Alam and Hurghada in Egypt.
Wizz Air held the largest market share in scheduled traffic during the first half of 2026. It operated 45.4 per cent of all flights from Gdansk, followed by Ryanair (36.6 per cent) and LOT Polish Airlines in the third place (5.1 per cent).

The most popular destinations chosen by passengers flying from Gdansk in the first half of this year remained unchanged: London (242,149) and Oslo (217,333), with Copenhagen (201,926) in the third place.

In the first half of the year, 5,568 tonnes of cargo were handled at the Airport. This represents an increase of 3.8 per cent compared with 2025.

During the first two quarters of 2026, Gdansk Airport generated PLN 44.3 million in sales revenue and PLN 37 million in net profit.
