About Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport

Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, within the Matarnia district of Gdansk, around 10 kilometres west of the city centre. Opened in its current Rębiechowo location for civil air traffic in 1974, the airport is operated by Port Lotniczy Gdańsk Sp. z o.o. and serves as the main air gateway for Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot and the wider northern Poland region.

Its expanded terminal infrastructure supports several million passengers per year and includes check-in desks, security and border control, baggage facilities, lounges, retail and dining outlets, car rental services, parking, public transport links and direct rail access. Traffic is strongest in the summer holiday season, when leisure, charter and city-break demand increases, while winter demand is supported by business travel, family visits and selected seasonal routes.

Airlines operating from Gdansk include Wizz Air, Ryanair, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM and other scheduled or seasonal carriers. Travellers can book flight tickets for domestic destinations such as Warsaw and Krakow, as well as international routes to key cities including London, Copenhagen, Oslo, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Stockholm, Barcelona and Mediterranean holiday markets. Demand is broad and resilient, driven by the Tricity's business activity, tourism appeal, student and expatriate communities, and strong demand for convenient direct connections across Europe.
