Changing places facilities at Gdansk Airport

A changing places facility [Polish: “komfortka”] is a room equipped with a changing table or a couch with a lift that can accommodate and lift both a child and an adult. We have installed a total of four ceiling lifts on rails and four foldable and adjustable wall couches at the Airport.We have changing places facilities in four locations in the Passenger Terminal. One is located in the public area, on the ground floor, behind the check-in desks. The second is in the Baggage Claim Hall, on the ground floor. The third is located in the Departure Hall, in the Schengen area, behind the exit from the Aelia shop. The fourth is in the non-Schengen area. The rooms are marked with special graphics. “At Gdansk Airport, we strive to ensure the comfort of all passengers, including those with special needs. We are very keen to improve accessibility. Thanks to feedback from passengers, we have decided to install special lifts and couches in four bathrooms in the Passenger Terminal to serve people with disabilities and their carers," says Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport. The Airport’s changing places facilities were also visited by Sylwia Błach - a blogger, writer and author of books, including children’s books about disability such as “Nie znajdziesz mnie po śladach stóp” (English: “You Won’t Find Me by My Footprints”). A wheelchair user herself, she leads a very active lifestyle and travels frequently. “I am a huge fan of Changing Places facilities, because they give people with disabilities greater independence. Having such facilities at the airport will make travelling much easier for us,” she said.The hoists and changing benches installed in the Airport’s changing places facilities were supplied and installed by LeviCare. LeviCare is a Polish manufacturer and distributor of specialized systems and medical devices designed to support the care of people with disabilities and reduced mobility. The company focuses on removing architectural barriers and improving the quality of life of dependent individuals, as well as their families and carers. LeviCare offers equipment and solutions that assist with daily care activities, transfers and rehabilitation. Its products are used in private homes, public buildings, care and rehabilitation centres, as well as hospitals.The company has been operating since 2016 and is constantly developing, expanding its product range and improving its solutions. Since August 2025, LeviCare has been operating from its new headquarters in Gdansk at ul. Astronomów 18C, near the Airport, serving customers in Poland, Europe and worldwide.

The first modern scanners will be available in Gdansk in July.

The latest generation of EDSCB C3 scanners (Explosive Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage, standard C3) allows hand luggage to be checked using computer tomography technology. It produces 3D images, which means that hand luggage can contain laptops and other large electrical devices, as well as liquids, aerosols and gels (with a maximum capacity of 2 litres per container). This technological solution will significantly speed up and facilitate security checks at airports, while increasing the detection of threats.The new scanners will be delivered to Gdansk Airport by a consortium of two companies selected in a tender: Dimark from Poznań and Anglosec from Warsaw. The new scanners should be installed and commissioned in July 2026. The contract is worth over PLN 9 million. "The implementation of the first scanners for cabin baggage screening using computed tomography technology in July 2026 is an important part of the modernization process at Gdansk Airport. The modern equipment will enable more efficient and effective security checks, while raising the Airport to a higher level of technological development. This is an investment that improves the standard of passenger service and confirms our consistent efforts to develop airport infrastructure," said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport.After the first two modern scanners start operating in Gdansk in July, the Airport will gradually order and purchase more. Ultimately, there should be as many as 12. Computed tomography scanners create detailed 3D images, making it easier for operators to detect explosives and illegal items, even in microscopic quantities. They allow for faster check-in, reduce queues and the number of devices needed, while consuming less energy. Certified by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) and the US TSA, they comply with the highest European and global security standards.Hand luggage is placed on a conveyor belt and the scanner takes a series of X-ray images from different angles, creating a three-dimensional model of the contents. Operators can rotate the image on their monitors and analyse the interior of the luggage with unprecedented precision. The system simultaneously examines the chemical composition of items for the presence of explosives and drugs.
