On 10 December 2023 (Sunday), Koleje Śląskie trains debuted on the S9 route, which goes through the following route: Częstochowa – Częstochowa-Raków – Poraj – Myszków – Zawiercie – Poręba – Siewierz – Mierzęcice – Pyrzowice Lotnisko (Katowice Airport) – Miasteczko Śląskie Centrum – Tarnowskie Góry. The line is handled with a frequency of 10 pairs of trains daily.
Launch of a train connection to Katowice Airport was possible thanks to the reconstruction and revitalisation of railway line 182 Zawiercie – Tarnowskie Góry, carried out by PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe SA with support from European Union’s sources.
By 2028, a central Katowice Airport passenger terminal will open in front of the “Pyrzowice Lotnisko” (Katowice Airport) station; it will be connected with the station with a tunnel. Between the station and new terminal, located will be a interchange centre with stands for buses.
