Construction of Poland's Mega-Airport Port Polska to Start After Summer Holidays

The construction of Port Polska, a massive airport project planned for Baranów, Poland, is slated to commence in September 2026, shortly after the summer holidays. Groundbreaking work will begin once land expropriations are finalized, a process expected to conclude by August 2026.

Maciej Lasek, the government's plenipotentiary for the Central Communication Port (CPK), confirmed the timeline. He assured that compensation payments to landowners are being processed regularly. "Where work is to begin, the company will have to have unrestricted access to the land. As part of the expropriations, we regularly pay compensation every week to people covered by these expropriations," Lasek stated, as reported by RMF FM.

The finalization of administrative appeal procedures means a contract with Budimex for the first phase of construction, focusing on foundations, will be signed soon. Despite the progress, property owners whose land is being acquired for Port Polska may still face lengthy waits for their compensation payments. The final location decision for the airport has been upheld by the Minister of Finance and Economy, exhausting administrative appeals but opening the door for potential legal challenges in provincial administrative courts.

Port Polska is projected to welcome its first passengers in the latter half of 2032. Upon completion, it will handle all commercial passenger traffic currently served by Warsaw's existing airports.
