Central Communication Port

The Central Transport Hub (Polish: Centralny Port Komunikacyjny, CPK) is a planned major infrastructure project in Poland aimed at the construction of a new international airport and the development of a nationwide integrated transport network. The airport is planned to be located approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) southwest of Warsaw, connected to a new high-speed rail network and controlled-access highway system linking it with much of the rest of the country.

The project was approved by the Polish Government in November 2017, but it was reassessed by the October 15 Coalition after the 2023 Polish parliamentary election. In June 2024, the coalition government confirmed that the airport element of the project would continue. As of November 2024, construction is planned to begin in 2026, with the airport opening no earlier than 2032. The combined cost of the air and rail elements is expected to be 131 billion Polish złoty (about €30.4 billion).

The airport will be designed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Buro Happold. Initially, the airport is planned to have two runways (each 4,000 m × 45 m), but it is expected to be expanded to four runways.

Planned rail connections from the CPK would take 15 minutes to Warsaw Central railway station, 25 minutes to Łódź Fabryczna railway station, and around two hours to other major Polish cities, including Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk. A high-speed line to Frankfurt (Oder) is also planned, which would shorten travel time on the Berlin-CPK route to under 3.5 hours. The opening of the CPK may result in the closure of Warsaw Chopin Airport; however, no official decision has yet been made.
