In July, Chopin Airport in Warsaw handled 1.7 million passengers – nearly 25 percent more than a year ago. It was the best month in the history of the Warsaw airport.
The first month of the summer holidays brought another record to the Warsaw airport. In July, passenger and air traffic statistics were not only better than last year’s, but it was also the best month in the airport’s history. Never before in the 83-year history of the airport have more than 1.7 million passengers been handled in a single month. The increases are the result of a very favorable economic situation in international and domestic traffic. In international traffic, since the beginning of the year, the airport has handled 7.4 million passengers (+ 19.7 percent compared to 2016). In domestic traffic, after seven months, the airport handled 1.2 million passengers – 68 percent more than last year.
