To the 13-percent increase certainly have contributed such events as the NATO Summit and the World Youth Days, as well as opening new connections, among others to Toronto (Air Canada Rouge), Vinnitsa (UIA), Alghero (Wizzair) or Szymany (LOT).
Thanks to the new connections the position of Chopin Airport as a hub port continues to increase, as well as its attractiveness for the passengers. Since the beginning of the year Chopin Airport has handled 6.97 million passengers (an increase of 9 percent), of which 6.24 million in international traffic (up by 9.1 percent) and 725 thousand in domestic traffic (up 8.1 percent).
