The companies Vinci Airports and IFM Global Infrastructure Fund have been selected as preferred investors in Poland for the construction of the planned new central airport near Warsaw. The two companies are to invest around eight billion Polish zloty. The construction of the new airport is considered a prestige project of the current government. The new building is currently planned to go online in 2028. The state carrier Lot is to develop this airport into a major hub. In this context, it was recently announced that this airline wants to significantly expand its fleet. The new building will have a capacity for around 40 million passengers and one million tons of freight per year, according to a spokesman for the state-owned CPK. It is a civilian project, but military use is also planned. From the opening, the central airport will be connected to the largest cities in Poland by rail and long-distance buses. It is assumed that one or two regional airports that are currently connected to Warsaw-Chopin will in future only be connected to the planned major airport by land. A final decision has not yet been made on the future of Chopin Airport, as there are currently various options. It could remain on the network for point-to-point traffic, be used as a general aviation site, or be taken off the network. Due to its inner-city location, the area is considered extremely valuable. The construction project also has an indirect impact on the Radom and Modlin sites. The former airport is only used very little anyway, as only Lot and, in the future, Wizz Air offer
