Mega-airport under construction in Poland to become one of the largest transport hubs in Europe

Poland’s long-planned mega-airport is set to open in 2032 with a new name: Port Polska, Euronews writes.

The transport hub, located between Warsaw and the smaller city of Łódź, hopes to welcome 40 million passengers annually. It puts it in the same league as the likes of London Heathrow and Istanbul.

The project received approval in 2017, but progress has been marred by a corruption scandal involving the previous government.

Port Polska is envisioned as a gateway to Europe and as one of the largest transport hubs in the region.

Authorities have earmarked 131 billion Polish złoty (€30 billion) for the construction, which will begin in 2026.
