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.
