## Description

DHL, UPS, FedEx and Lufthansa Cargo all run scheduled freighters from Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport (IATA: KTW, ICAO: EPKT), Poland's second-busiest cargo gateway after Warsaw. The airport handled 37,182 tonnes of freight in 2024 (+3.5%) and set an all-time record of 32,554 tonnes in the first nine months of 2025, up 21.4 percent. It sits at Pyrzowice, about 30 km north of Katowice, serving the industrial Upper Silesian conurbation. Operator GTL is designing a second, 10,000 m² cargo terminal — to be drawn up by Q1 2026 — which will lift total handling space to 22,000 m², with a long-term target of 100,000 tonnes a year driven by e-commerce. On the passenger side, Wizz Air bases its largest Polish operation here. Motorway access via the A1 links the cargo area directly to Silesia's industry and the Czech border.
