## Description

Belly capacity, not freighters, is what Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport (BZG/EPBY) offers — and from summer 2026 that capacity improves markedly, with Lufthansa serving Frankfurt six times a week from Poland's eleventh-busiest airport. The field, about three kilometres south-west of the city centre in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, carried roughly 425,000 passengers in 2025 and added another 29% in the first quarter of 2026, reaching 87,974 travellers; Ryanair links the UK and Ireland while LOT feeds the Warsaw hub. No dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter operation is documented here, so shipments travel in the holds of passenger aircraft, with customs clearance arranged through forwarders and handling agents at the airport. The WZL No. 2 military aviation works on the site focus on maintenance and overhaul rather than freight. For planned tonnage, Gdańsk (GDN, around 160 kilometres) and Warsaw Chopin (WAW, around 270 kilometres) remain the nearest true cargo gateways, both reachable by road feeder service. Bydgoszcz's position between the Baltic ports and Warsaw makes it primarily a trucking and regional-industry catchment rather than a freight base in its own right.
