Frederic Chopin Airport
About WAW
Overview
Warsaw Chopin Airport lies about 10 kilometers southwest of central Warsaw, in the Włochy district of Poland's capital. It serves as the country's primary international gateway and the largest airport in Poland by traffic. The airport opened in 1934 on the site of a former military airfield and was renamed in 2001 to honor the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.
Terminals & runways
The airport operates a single integrated passenger terminal, formed by the merger of the older Terminal 1 and the newer Terminal 2 wings, handling both domestic and international flights under one roof. Two intersecting asphalt runways serve traffic, oriented roughly northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast. Chopin operates around the clock, though a partial night-time noise restriction limits certain movements between late evening and early morning.
Airlines
Chopin is the principal hub of LOT Polish Airlines, the country's flag carrier, which operates an extensive European network alongside long-haul services to North America and Asia. Enter Air and several charter operators also base aircraft here. Major European and Middle Eastern carriers, including Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, and Qatar Airways, provide scheduled connections.
