According to our estimates, we should serve more than 14 million passengers this year,” declares Mariusz Szpikowski, general director of ‘Polish Airports’ State Enterprise, the operator of Warsaw Chopin Airport. Chopin Airport handles nearly 38% of passenger traffic in Poland. It offers 114 regular services operated by 36 airlines to 47 countries. In 2016 the airport served 12.8 million travellers.
