 WAW Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport Info & Guide


Warsaw Frederic Chopin  Airport

Where is Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport? WAW Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport (Polish: Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie) (IATA: WAW, ICAO: EPWA) is an international airport located in the Włochy district of Warsaw, Poland. Poland's busiest airport, Warsaw International Airport handles just under 50% of the country's air passenger traffic. Warsaw Chopin Airport handles approximately 300 scheduled flights daily and an ever rising number of charters. London, Chicago, Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam are the busiest international connections, while Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk are the most popular domestic ones.


Formerly Warsaw-Okecie Airport (Port lotniczy Warszawa-Okęcie) or Okecie International Airport, the airport bore the name of its Okęcie neighborhood throughout its history, until its renaming for Polish composer and former Warsaw resident Frédéric Chopin in 2001. Despite the official change, "Okecie" ("Lotnisko Okęcie") remains in popular and industry use, including air traffic and aerodrome references.


Upgrading of Chopin Warsaw Airport is underway and construction will be completed in 2014. A second Warsaw airport, Modlin Airport (WMI), servicing low-cost airlines, opened in July 2012; the two airports will later be connected by a convenient rail link.
