These results show the tremendous role Chopin Airport plays and are a testament to the trust our passengers have in us and the result of the hard work of the entire airport team. Such tremendous growth is a source of pride, but also a commitment to further development, both in terms of the quality of service and in terms of our airport's capabilities. This is why our strategy, focused on modernisation and investment in state-of-the-art infrastructure, is so important today. We thank all passengers and business partners for their trust. There are further challenges and goals ahead of us, which we will pursue with determination," said PPL board member Adam Sanocki.
