Once all permits are obtained, construction work will begin, with completion planned for the turn of March and April 2012. The scope of the investment includes projects related to handling the increasing number of passengers each year, including intensified traffic during the EURO 2012 tournament. Investment processes related to the expansion of airport surfaces and the passenger terminal are currently underway. The first task is the construction of a taxiway parallel to the runway, along with so-called rapid exit taxiways, and the expansion of aircraft parking aprons. The second task – terminal expansion – is divided into three stages. The first is the creation of a new facility, connected to the current terminal by a connector. It will house the check-in hall, baggage sorting area, office building, and arrivals hall. By the time the environmental decision was received, the airport had completed tender procedures to select contractors for the largest tasks, i.e., the expansion of airport surfaces (Skanska S.A. was selected) and the expansion of the terminal (HOCHTIEF Polska S.A. was selected). The issue of financing the investment has also been fully resolved. As a result of negotiations with banks, the Port has concluded agreements for debt financing in the form of bonds. The above-mentioned investment projects are co-financed by the European Union from the Cohesion Fund and the European Regional Development Fund under the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme.
