Central Transport Hub in Poland’s airport system

Abstract

Objectives The study investigates the proposed Central Transport Hub (CPK) in Poland's aviation system. Its primary goal is to evaluate CPK's future role as a major airport integrating hub and point-to-point functions, serving both regional and international passengers, and contributing to the modernization of Poland's transportation infrastructure. Material and methods The research analyzes CPK’s potential impact by examining aviation policies, infrastructure strategies, and operational data from existing Polish airports. The study reviews official documents, statistical data, and industry reports to assess CPK’s role within the national and regional contexts, including its interactions with existing airports and carriers. Results Findings suggest that CPK will become Poland’s primary hub, centralizing air traffic and replacing Warsaw Chopin Airport. The analysis highlights the growing significance of PLL LOT as the principal carrier at CPK, with projected fleet expansions and passenger increases. CPK is expected to transform Poland's transportation network by integrating high-speed rail connections, improving accessibility across regions, and supporting economic growth. Conclusions CPK is positioned as a key project for Poland’s infrastructure development, aligning with global aviation trends and national priorities. While promising, challenges include ensuring fair access for carriers, economic feasibility, and effective integration with existing networks. Further studies should address these issues to optimize CPK’s contributions to Poland's transportation system.
