History

The land was used for aviation since 1910, while in 1927 it was decided that Okęcie would become the city's primary airport. After the completion of technical buildings and the passenger terminal in 1934, the airport took over the handling of all traffic from the Pole Mokotowskie airfield. Apart from LOT Polish Airlines, Okęcie was also home to four squadrons of the Polish Air Force and to aircraft manufacturer Doświadczalne Zakłady Lotnicze. Today, the military continues to use the airport, mostly in support of government VIP flights. Pola Mokotowskie (sometimes the singular form Pole Mokotowskie is used) is a big park in Warsaw. ...

Polish Air Force (SiÅ‚y Powietrzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, SiÅ‚y Powietrzne RP). ...

During World War II the airport infrastructure was almost completely destroyed. In 1969 a new international terminal was opened; domestic flights continued to operate from the facilities built on the site of the pre-war terminal. The current two-story Terminal 1 was constructed in 1992 to replace the separate domestic and international terminals. The latter has since been mostly torn down with the arrivals hall being adapted in 2004 to become the Etiuda Terminal for low-cost carriers. The newest addition, Terminal 2, is expected to become fully operational in November 2007. Currently it handles all the incoming flights.

Terminal 2 construction and mixed terminal use

The construction phase of a Terminal 2, which will triple the airport's capacity, is nearly finished. The airport was until recently negotiating permission from the fire inspector to fully open Terminal 2 for use. Its Arrivals Hall was opened on December 1, 2006. Its North Concourse (first of three) and the shared Departures Hall were expected to open at the end of November 2007 (original date for the entire project, complete with 3 pirses: 2005).^[2] However, on 12 October 2007, after yet another failed fire inspection, the airport operator, PPL, cancelled the contract outright with the builder, Budimex-Ferrovial-Lamela, and the workers left the premises with the building left in an unfinished state, while the matter is expected to end up in court. Since the builder is also the architect, it became unclear, who and when will finish up the construction (the North concourse, and the other two: the Central and South concourses) and make the vacant completed Departures Hall comply with the current fire code.^[3] is the 335th day of the year (336th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Currently, departing passengers check in at Terminal 1, which is likely to be redeployed as a low-cost or domestic terminal in the future, upon the completion of Terminal 2. Currently, all arriving flights use Terminal 2 (including the airlines using Etiuda Terminal for departures).

Future second airport

This article or section contains information about a planned or expected new airport. It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the construction and/or completion of the airport approaches, and as more information becomes available on it.

Warsaw may see its second passenger airport in 2009. A former military airfield is awaiting transformation into a low-cost scheduled and charter flights airport (with cargo capabilities to be added later) in order to off-load Frederic Chopin Airport. The new airport is located 40 km north of Warsaw centre, in Modlin, and the first aircraft operation is expected in the winter of 2009 at the earliest. This airport has been talked about for many years, with its projected completion date slipping repeatedly. Modlin airport will serve 2-3 million passengers annually.
