Warsaw Modlin Airport handled more than 400,000 passengers in May, continuing a strong rise in traffic this year. The airport has already reached 1.5 million passengers and looks set to pass 3 million for the full year.

The latest figures show a much stronger performance than in the same period last year. The airport, which serves the Polish capital region, is on course for a record annual result if the current pace continues.

In the source text, the airport’s growth is described as a major improvement on the previous year. The May total of more than 400,000 passengers highlights how quickly demand has recovered and expanded at the low-cost carrier hub.

Warsaw Modlin Airport has long been one of the main entry points for budget travellers using the wider Warsaw area. Its passenger numbers matter not only to the airport itself, but also to the airlines, ground transport providers and local tourism businesses that depend on steady traffic.

The figure of 1.5 million passengers reached so far this year suggests sustained momentum through the summer peak. If the airport maintains that pace, it would comfortably exceed 3 million passengers before the end of the year.

That would mark a significant milestone for the airport and reinforce its role in Poland’s expanding aviation market. For travellers, the increase also points to more frequent services and stronger demand on routes serving the region.

Low-cost airports across Europe have benefited from the recovery in leisure travel, and Modlin appears to be sharing in that trend. May’s result adds to evidence that passenger volumes are continuing to climb after earlier disruptions to the travel sector.

The airport’s progress will now be watched closely over the coming months. Summer is usually the busiest period for European travel, and strong holiday demand could help push the annual total even higher.
