The PLN 300-million terminal was the main investment for this year’s European Football Championship. The terminal will be able to process 3 million passengers annually, and 7 million following further expansion planned in 2017-19.
New terminal consists of eight security checkpoints, 22 check-in positions, 12 gates and over a thousand parking spaces at the terminal. What distinguishes new terminal is a huge space and modern finishing, including a glass facade that allows looking on planes taking off.
With the opening of the terminal, the access to the airport was changed as it is about 1.5 km away from the old terminal. The road leads directly to the parking lot under the new terminal. It can also be reached by public transportation. Since Sunday bus number 406 has had its final stop at the new terminal.
