Do you know how many airports does Poland have? Posted by Kasia on Feb 16, 2021 in Places to visit
Sure, we were very limited in flying to Europe within last year, but life is slowly getting back to somehow normal and people start traveling a little more. Do you know where all the airports are in Poland? Well, I will help you with that!
It’s always good to know your options! Especially when it comes to flying. I usually fly to Warsaw, but there are so many other airports that may be more convenient to fly to!
The national flag carrier of Poland is LOT, which is responsible for most of the routes in and out of the country. Other major players in the country are the low cost carriers Ryan Air and Wizz Air, as well as other European companies such as Eurowings, Lufthansa, Air France, KLM and many others. Here is a list of Polish airports, just in case you are planning a trip in near future:)
1. Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport is the country’s both largest and busiest airport, handling more than 40% of the country’s total passenger traffic.
