Poland wants its planned airport to be a European gateway to Asia
Poland is banking on booming passenger and cargo traffic to help turn its planned transportation hub into a key European gateway to Asia and is open to looking for partners in the far East to help finance it. Poland wants a US$9.4b 45m passenger airport by 2027, making it the largest transportation hub in central and eastern Europe. The project is set to be “the biggest undertaking in Poland’s modern history,” even before planned later extensions that would put it at a par with Heathrow Airport. The planned airport, to be situated 45 kilometers from the capital, has drawn criticism from the opposition parties as well as from CE Michael O’Leary of Ryanair. O’Leary has said Poland doesn’t need a “shiny cathedral in the middle of nowhere” to service the growing number of airline customers. <br/>
