“We are very pleased with the high level of passenger traffic at our airport. This means that Warsaw is perceived by an increasing number of people as an attractive hub," says Hubert Wojciechowski, Director of the Marketing and PR Bureau of Chopin Airports. "At the end of October, a new winter schedule was introduced. We expect that in December we will exceed the level of 15 million passengers.”
