Central passenger terminal
Investments
The new passenger traffic infrastructure will be created in the area where passenger terminal A, the old air traffic control tower and the so-called "multi-functional building" are currently located.
By 2028, a two-storey central passenger terminal with a surface of 49K m2 will be created at Katowice Airport. Check-in area, arrivals hall and baggage rooms will be located on the ground floor. Security control, passport control, departures hall and boarding gates – partially equipped with jet bridges – will be located on floor +1. The building will be connected with ”Pyrzowice Lotnisko” railway station via a tunnel for pedestrians; it will be 270 metres long. The project estimates, that it will be possible to expand the object to even 72K m2 after 2028.
Construction of the central passenger terminal (phases)
Phase 1a
By 2028, a new two-storey terminal with a surface of 49K m2 will be created; it will handle departures to Non-Schengen countries and arrivals from Schengen Area countries. Departure flights to Schengen Area countries will be handled in terminals A and B, while Non-Schengen arrivals in terminal C.
Phase 1b
By 2030, passenger terminal A will be removed. 7.5K m2 of new terminal surface in the form of a pier connecting terminal B with the central terminal will be constructed. Departures to Non-Schengen countries and arrivals from Schengen Area countries will be handled in the new terminal. Departures to Schengen Area countries will be handled in terminal B, while terminal C will handle arrivals from Non-Schengen countries.
Phase 1c
Deconstruction of the so-called ”old cargo terminal”, as well as contruction of additional part of the new terminal with a surface of 16K m2 will take place by 2032. All departures will be moved to the new terminal, where central security control for passengers flying to Schengen and Non-Schengen countries will be located. During Phase 1c, reconfiguration of the function of Terminal B will take place; security control will be removed, and the departures hall of the first floor will be expanded.
