Gdańsk Airport Welcomes Its 7-Millionth Passenger. A New Record.

The milestone passenger was Ms Natalia Sokalska, who arrived from Warsaw on a scheduled flight operated by Polish Airlines LOT. The national carrier was a partner of the event. 

Natalia Sokalska lives in Gdańsk. She travelled from Amsterdam to Gdańsk via Warsaw. She was returning from work, where she serves as a third officer on a ship.  As the 7-millionth passenger, she received a return flight voucher from Gdańsk to Istanbul, access to the VIP Lounge at Gdańsk Airport, as well as promotional gifts from LOT and the Pomeranian Voivodeship local government. 

The welcome of the 7-millionth passenger was attended by Michał Fijoł, President of the Management Board of Polish Airlines LOT; Adam Gawrylik, Member of the Management Board of the Pomeranian Voivodeship; and Łukasz Kunowski, Director for Security at Gdańsk Airport. 

“This is an exceptionally important day in the history of our airport. Serving seven million passengers in a single year is not only a new record, but also confirmation of the stable development of Gdańsk Airport. It is a major event for the entire region and a sign that our offer, service quality and infrastructure meet the growing needs of passengers. We are strengthening our passenger base, expanding airport infrastructure and the route network, and the number of destinations is increasing year by year. This record is a source of pride for us and, at the same time, motivation for further development and for providing the residents of Pomerania with even greater travel opportunities,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdańsk Airport. 

Gdańsk Airport estimates that it will close 2025 with approximately 7.3 million passengers. Last year, the airport checked in 6.7 million visitors. The Gdansk Airport is the third largest international airport in Poland. 

In the winter timetable, Gdańsk offers 74 routes to 21 countries, serving 62 airports and operated by nine airlines. In the summer timetable, starting at the end of March 2026, a record number of more than 100 connections will be available. New routes in the LOT network have already been announced: Brussels, Oslo, Bergen and Istanbul — a direct connection from Gdańsk that is highly anticipated and will launch on 14 January 2026.
