Gdansk Airport has become a Silent Airport 

We have taken into account some of our passengers' feedback. We recommend, that you follow the flight information shown on the boards and screens. 

Listening to passengers' feedback, as well as the concerns of organisations representing visually impaired passengers, the airport, together with the airlines, has decided that single announcements will continue to be broadcast. Passengers will hear information about the commencement of boarding, last call and gate change. The announcements will be read out by the handling agent's staff once and only in specific zones. This means that announcements will only be heard around specific gates. Security messages will still be broadcast in the terminal, and will also appear in emergency situations. 

“We remain convinced, that an airport without the majority of loud announcements equals comfort and peace of mind for our passengers. We are reducing noise in the terminal and providing an opportunity to focus. We believe that this will also be helpful for people, who are very badly affected by noise,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, CEO of Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport. 

All information about the opening of check-in or check-in and gate numbers are still displayed on screens, just like before. There, passengers can read about the commencement of boarding and about the last call. Gdansk Airport encourages passengers to pay attention to the information displayed on the screens. 

In Poland, the Fryderyk Chopin Airport in Warsaw is a silent airport. In Europe, these include Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam and Eindhoven Airport in the Netherlands, El Prat in Barcelona, London City and Bristol in the UK, Marco Polo in Venice and Helsinki in Finland. Outside Europe, silent airports are in Cape Town in South Africa, Delhi in India, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Cancun in Mexico and Changi in Singapore.
