Poland's Central Airport CPK pushes ahead with construction contracts, compensation and funding plans

The state‑owned Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) has signed a roughly 146 million zł contract with Budimex to build deep‑foundation works for the new airport terminal, with construction slated to finish between 2027 and 2028.

Polish Airports Group (PPL) reported a record 4.02 billion zł revenue and 1.03 billion zł net profit for 2025, emphasizing that its strong financial position will support the strategic CPK investment.

CPK announced it will accelerate expropriation compensation, reducing the advance‑payment period from 30 to 7 days; as of 15 June 2024, 225 applications were received, 180 of which had been paid.

A new rolling‑stock company, Port Polska, was created with a planned investment of over 10.1 billion zł through 2035, sparking debate over its necessity and financing.

Lublin’s municipal authorities defended a further 266 million zł capital injection into the regional Lublin airport, arguing the facility is essential public infrastructure despite ongoing losses.
