New playground at the airport

Gdansk Airport has launched a new feature for its youngest passengers and their guardians: a colourful, safe and inspiring playground. It is located in the departure area. With it, you can turn waiting for your flight into a fun experience and get excited even before you board the plane. The author of the project is Dutch designer Anne-Joke Wijsmuller, who created a unique space just for us, drawing inspiration from Gdansk Airport. The vinyl floor, covering an area of almost 80 square metres, features a beautiful printed airport landscape with a realistic depiction of the runway. It also features the logo of Gdansk Airport, subtly woven into the overall visual design. The floor is not only visually appealing, but also exceptionally durable and pleasant to the touch, making it ideal for children. At the playground, children will find play boards, interactive games and wooden structures that spark their imagination and support their motor development. There is an aeroplane, a tower with a slide, a “Play Tower,” a table for team games, touch screens and interactive games. The play area also includes a corner for watching cartoons. The contractor for the new playground is Dutch-based International Kids Concepts, with branches in many countries. In Poland, the company has been operating for 12 years in Kościerzyna. They have also built similar playgrounds at several other airports in Poland. They are also found in hotels and shopping centres. Come and join in the fun!

3.3 million passengers in the first half of 2025 in Gdansk.

Gdansk Airport has recorded better results in terms of passenger numbers and take-offs and landings in the first six months of this year. The company’s financial performance is also good. During the first two quarters of 2025, Gdansk Airport welcomed a total of 3,336,120 passengers. This is 12.1% more than in the same period of 2024. There were 27,836 flight operations, 7% more than last year. “We are proceeding as planned. We are achieving what we set out to do. By the end of the year, we will definitely have over 7 million passengers, although it is still too early to say how much more than seven. The first half of the year is behind us, the weaker half. In recent years, charter flights have been the main driver of growth for Gdansk Airport, and they began on a larger scale in June. We will know more after the third quarter,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport. There are no changes in the order of the most popular destinations chosen by passengers in the first half of 2025. The most popular routes were Gdansk-London (262,902), Gdansk-Oslo (227,001) and Gdansk-Copenhagen (204,290). In irregular traffic (charters, general aviation, military, other), there were 244,205 passengers in Gdansk from January to the end of June this year, 9% more than in the comparable period of 2024. In the period from January to June 2025, Gdansk Airport generated PLN 37.7 million in sales profit (5% more than in January to June 2024) and PLN 29 million in net profit (10.3% more than in January to June 2024). “The steady development of Gdansk Airport is driven by tourist and business traffic, as well as the travel decisions made by our residents. This is mainly due to the strong economic situation in Pomerania, the prosperity of seaports and the offshore industry, the expansion of port terminals, and preparations for the construction of the nuclear power plant. The economy generates air traffic, with designers, consultants, engineers and people widely involved in business coming to Pomerania,” added Tomasz Kloskowski. Wizz Air had the largest share of the aviation market in Gdansk in the first half of 2025 in terms of regular traffic. It made 43.5% of flights, followed by Ryanair (37.3%). These were followed by LOT Polish Airlines (4.8%), Lufthansa (4.3%) and KLM (3.7%). Over the course of six months, 5,364 tonnes of cargo were handled at the port of Gdansk.

The Gdansk Ambulance Team Will Be Stationed at the Airport

Gdansk Airport will provide space for the rescue team. They will have their own facilities and will be able to park their ambulance there. They will secure the Matarnia district and nearby areas. The Emergency Medical Services station in Gdansk was looking for a new location for its ambulance and crew. Gdansk Airport responded favourably to this need. The airport has accommodation and facilities for receiving an emergency unit. Under the agreement, the rescue workers will move to the airport on 1 October 2025. They will be on duty around the clock, with two paramedics on each shift. According to representatives of the emergency services, the facilities provided at the airport meet the requirements and needs of rescue workers. They will have sanitary, pharmacy, office and social areas. The ambulance will be parked in front of the terminal, in a location that allows for quick departure and response. The location of the EMS at the airport is optimal in terms of access to patients in Matarnia and the neighbouring areas, as well as transport to hospitals. Today, a press conference was held at Gdansk Airport about the new headquarters for paramedics and ambulances at the airport. “We are relocating the emergency medical team from Harfowa Street to the airport grounds in order to reduce response times. There are 113 teams throughout the Pomeranian Voivodeship, including 13 specialist teams with doctors. Over the past year and a half, we have created nine new emergency medical teams,” said Beata Rutkiewicz, Voivode of Pomerania. “We place great emphasis on the health and safety of residents and the many tourists who visit Pomerania. Of the 13 hospital emergency departments located in Pomerania, six are managed by the voivodeship authorities. Out of 113 emergency medical teams, we manage over forty,” said Leszek Bonna, Deputy Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. Wiktor Tyburski, Director of the Emergency Medical Services Station in Gdansk, gave his thanks to the head of Gdansk Airport for the excellent cooperation. “The premises presented to us are perfectly suited to our needs. We would like to have conditions like this everywhere,” added the director. “We share these places for a symbolic one zloty. We do not want to profit, we want to help,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport. The EMS station in Gdansk has a total of 18 Emergency Medical Teams throughout the city. 13 teams work around the clock, all year round, with an additional team working in Sobieszewo in the summer. Four teams work in the city on a 12-hour shift system. Every year, the emergency services respond to tens of thousands of calls. In 2024, there were almost 41,000 dispatches. This gives us an average of about 112 per day. One team on duty may be dispatched up to 17 times. The Gdansk ambulance station employs a total of 180 paramedics and 9 doctors. It has 25 ambulances at its disposal. Gdansk Airport has its own medical services. The Airport Fire Brigade employs 11 rescue workers, including two women and one nurse. Most often, they assist passengers who have fainted, are experiencing chest pain, have suffered injuries, or are suffering from alcohol intoxication. There are also cases of cardiac arrest. If the patient’s condition requires hospitalisation, after providing initial assistance, they call a public ambulance. The airport also has its own well-equipped ambulance.

Directly to Istanbul with LOT from Gdansk

LOT will operate four flights a week on the Gdansk-Istanbul route, offering travellers very convenient flight times. PLL LOT planes will take off from Lech Walesa Airport at 4:35 p.m., while passengers will depart on their return journey at 10:10 p.m., local time. Therefore, passengers will spend 2 hours and 50 minutes in flight. Tickets for flights from Lech Walesa Airport to Istanbul are available through all sales channels, including lot.com, the LOT Contact Centre and LOT Travel offices. On Friday, 27 June 2025, a press conference was held in Gdansk, announcing the launch of a new flight connection. “The introduction of our new route is an important step in further strengthening LOT Polish Airlines’ presence at regional airports in Poland. As early as the beginning of next year, we will connect two dynamic hubs – the gateway to Pomerania and the metropolis linking Europe and Asia – creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors and travellers. Istanbul is very popular among our passengers flying from Warsaw and Krakow, so I am confident that the expansion of our network with a convenient connection from Gdansk will be met with the same enthusiasm among the residents of northern Poland. I also hope that the new route will be a good start to long-term cooperation between LOT Polish Airlines and Gdansk Airport, benefiting both passengers and the entire region,” said Dorota Dmuchowska, Member of the Management Board for Operations at LOT Polish Airlines. “The launch of a direct air connection between Gdansk and Istanbul marks a significant milestone for Gdansk Airport and is the result of many years of excellent cooperation with LOT Polish Airlines and Turkish Airlines. Istanbul is not only an attractive tourist destination, but also a strategic business, cultural and logistics hub connecting Europe and Asia. This gives Gdansk a gateway to the East and direct access to the second largest airport in Europe and the seventh largest transfer hub in the world. The new LOT service, in cooperation with Turkish Airlines, gives our passengers access to the Turkish carrier’s extensive network. This significantly increases Gdansk’s appeal on the international transport and economic map. I would like to thank the many people of good will from Poland and Turkey who put a lot of work and effort into launching this route. This has been our dream for many years, and now it has come true,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, president of Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport. Istanbul is a multicultural city with oriental flavours and an interesting landscape. The unique location of this agglomeration – the only city in the world to straddle two continents – means that Asian aesthetics coexist with European chic, creating a stunning whole.
