In 2025, Wroclaw Airport will temporarily cease operations due to large-scale modernization work. This is important news for all those who frequently use this airport, including Ukrainians traveling to Poland or further to Europe.

When and why is the airport being closed?

Wroclaw Airport will be completely closed from October 26 to December 4, 2025. During this period, all flights will be canceled and travelers will have to look for alternative options.

The reason for the closure is modernization, which will significantly expand the terminal and improve passenger comfort. Currently, the airport is designed for 4 million passengers a year, but this figure was already exceeded in 2024. This created inconveniences for travelers and also affected the quality of service.

What will change after the modernization?

The reconstruction will significantly improve the airport's infrastructure. Karol Przywara, Wroclaw Airport CEO, noted that these changes will have a positive impact on passenger safety and comfort, as well as contribute to the further development of the airport. It is expected that after the modernization, Wroclaw will be able to accommodate even more flights and provide faster service to travelers.
