Krakow Airport handled 1,214,353 passengers in April 2026, up 13% on the same month a year earlier, as the Polish airport closed the fourth month of the year with a new record.

The figure marks the strongest April performance in the airport’s history and highlights continued demand for travel through one of Poland’s busiest regional hubs.

The latest result also underlines the airport’s steady recovery and expansion after a period of sustained growth, with passenger numbers continuing to rise across both scheduled and leisure routes.

Krakow Airport, which serves the historic southern Polish city and the wider region, has been benefiting from strong traffic on European routes, while airlines have continued to add capacity in response to demand.

April’s total of more than 1.2 million passengers also means the airport has set a fresh benchmark for the month, adding to a series of strong monthly results in recent years.

The airport did not give a breakdown of routes or airline performance in the information provided, but the overall result points to a busy start to the spring travel season.

Passenger growth at Krakow has been driven by a mix of city breaks, visiting friends and relatives traffic and continued interest in short-haul international services. The airport’s April result suggests demand remained robust even as the summer travel season had not yet fully begun.

For the wider aviation market in Central Europe, the numbers add to evidence that regional airports continue to see healthy passenger flows, supported by low-cost carriers and network airlines alike.

The 13% rise is significant because it came on top of an already strong base, showing that Krakow Airport continued to build momentum rather than simply returning to pre-pandemic levels.

With summer travel approaching, the April figures set a strong foundation for the months ahead and give the airport another record to add to its growth story.
