Kraków Airport has initiated a major infrastructure project with the commencement of construction for the new T6 passenger terminal. Valued at approximately 537.7 million PLN net, the expansion will add 45,000 square meters of space, including 11 gates, three towers, and over 70 check-in counters. The project aims to increase the airport’s capacity to 16 million passengers annually, with long-term targets of reaching 20 million passengers per year.

Further details indicate that the first phase of construction is expected to be completed by mid-2029. The terminal will also feature non-Schengen arrival and departure zones alongside a central commercial area. Additionally, the airport has implemented a new precision approach and landing system to reduce weather-related delays, with plans to transition to Category II operations by the first quarter of 2027.
