## Description

Where the Baltic meets Polish industry: Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (IATA: GDN, ICAO: EPGD) serves the Tricity of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot — shipyard country, and home to one of the Baltic Sea's largest container ports. The airport at Rębiechowo, about 10 kilometres west of the centre, is named after the shipyard electrician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who led the Solidarity movement here. With around 7.4 million passengers in 2025 it ranks third in Poland and among the country's largest regional airports, anchored by a strong Wizz Air base and a dense Scandinavia network serving commuters and the maritime industry. Airfreight stays modest: roughly 11,000 tonnes of cargo and mail in 2025, slightly down on the year, carried by integrator express feeders and belly capacity on European routes. The region's big volumes travel differently — containers via the Baltic Hub deep-water terminal in the port of Gdańsk, and airfreight by road feeder truck to Warsaw or the German hubs. That division of labour is the key fact for quoting from Pomerania: sea for volume, GDN for urgency, Warsaw for intercontinental. Access is solid: the S6 bypass links the airport to the A1 motorway heading south, and the PKM rail line connects to the city centre. A cargo and e-commerce zone is being developed in stages.
