Poland's flights of fancy: Is a mega-airport coming?
The CE of LOT says his country needs a new mega-airport to show Poland means business. The Central Airport (Centralny Port Lotniczy or CPL), as the project is called, would be situated in the Baranow district between Warsaw and Lodz, 15 minutes from Warsaw's central station by train. "It's the biggest undertaking in the modern history of Poland," said deputy infrastructure minister Mikolaj Wild, who is overseeing the project. It could be "the gateway from the EU to the east," he added. The US$19b airport would handle 45m passengers a year, rising to 100m. But the govt has so far been vague about where the money will come from. The head of the Polish Development Fund, PFR, Pawel Borys, said in 2017 that the state-owned financial group had a rough plan for financing the investment which would not burden the state budget. <br/>
