Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport is the largest, the most modern and the finest complex of this type in Poland. It is located in the Okęcie estate, in the district of Włochy, 8 kilometers southwest of Warsaw city center. In 1934, the president of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki officially opened the new civilian and military airport under the name of Warsaw-Okecie Airport (Port lotniczy Warszawa-Okęcie). In 2009, it was registered as Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Currently, the airport has two terminals:
Terminal A – the main one;
Terminal General Aviation – dedicated to passengers and crews of all aircraft used for purposes other than regular airline services or charter flights. The terminal can be used also by passengers of helicopters, air ambulances, and air taxis.
Regular and low-cost airlines serve approximately 100 destinations, both domestic and international: to and from North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Flights to London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam are currently the most popular among passengers. When it comes to flights within the country, the top choices are Danzig, Cracow, and Wroclaw. In 2015, Warsaw Chopin Airport handled over 11.2 million passengers and the total number of flight operations reached over 124.700.
In 2013, for the fourth time in its history, Warsaw airport was awarded the title of Ambassador of the Polish Economy in the “Creator of 21st Century Solutions” category. The competition is organized by the Business Centre Club under the patronage of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
