Poland’s Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) company and Łódź Airport have signed a letter of intent aimed at strengthening cooperation between the future national mega hub and regional airports.
The agreement focuses on improving operational resilience, transport continuity and aviation workforce training as Poland prepares for continued growth in passenger traffic.
CPK And Łódź Airport Begin Strategic Cooperation
The letter of intent was signed on 12 May 2026 at Łódź Airport by representatives of both organisations.
Under the agreement, the parties will cooperate on ensuring continuity of air transport operations, improving resistance to disruption and developing aviation staff training programmes.
The partnership may also include operational testing and exercises connected with future systems planned for Poland’s new national airport.
Regional Airports Expected To Remain Key Part Of Polish Aviation
Government representatives stressed that regional airports will continue playing an important role alongside the future CPK hub.
Maciej Lasek, Poland’s government plenipotentiary for CPK, said the new national airport and regional airports should function as complementary parts of the same transport system.
According to Polish aviation data, regional airports currently account for around 60% of all passenger traffic in the country.
Poland handled approximately 66 million air passengers in 2025, with forecasts suggesting the figure could exceed 70 million in 2026.
CPK To Focus On Transfer Traffic
CPK CEO Filip Czernicki said the future national hub is expected to focus mainly on transfer and long-haul intercontinental traffic.
Regional airports, including Łódź, are expected to specialise in point-to-point travel and low-cost airline operations.
The project reflects broader plans to create a multi-airport system similar to those operating around London, Paris and Frankfurt.
Łódź Airport Positions Itself For Future Growth
Łódź Airport President Anna Midera described the agreement as the beginning of a five-year period of dialogue and planning focused on integrating transport infrastructure in central Poland.
She said the airport intends to remain an active part of Poland’s future aviation network alongside the planned national hub.
Łódź Airport has recently expanded its operations and positioned itself as one of Poland’s leading smaller regional airports.
Poland Continues Expanding Aviation Infrastructure
The CPK project remains one of the largest infrastructure investments currently planned in Poland and is expected to transform the country’s aviation and rail networks.
The cooperation with Łódź Airport highlights Poland’s strategy of combining large-scale hub development with continued support for regional airport growth.
