On 25 June 2026, Gdansk Airport handled a total of 303 take-offs and landings. This is a record number for a single day. Some of these operations were linked to the International Ukraine Recovery Conference, which took place in Gdansk on 25–26 June. Most of the 7,500 participants arrived in Gdansk via Gdansk Airport.
In Gdansk and at the Airport, we hosted nineteen top-level state delegations, including prime ministers and presidents, European Commission President - Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President - António Costa, and World Bank President - Ajay Banga.
The first guests arrived at Gdansk Airport as early as Wednesday, 24 June. The most important delegations arrived on HEAD-status flights – that is, carrying heads of state – whilst others arrived on government aircraft of a lower status. There were also flights operated by military aircraft. Many conference participants travelled to the venue on scheduled flights, which were operated by larger aircraft than usual for the occasion.
During this period, 50 aircraft landings took place in Gdansk solely in connection with the Conference. As a result, on Thursday, 25 June, this year’s record for the total number of operations handled in a single day was set, with as many as 303.
A large number of staff were involved, including those from the Operations Department, the Maintenance Department and the Airport Security Service. The staff of the Airport’s VIP Lounge handled passengers from 45 scheduled flights and 52 private and government flights.
A total of around 5,000 business representatives attended the two-day Conference in Gdansk dedicated to the reconstruction of Ukraine following the war damage. During the Conference, nearly 200 agreements and letters of intent were signed.
