Katowice Airport has begun the second phase of its P5 surface-car-park project, adding 1,100 spaces and lifting total capacity at the lot to almost 2,000 vehicles. The works are part of a PLN 1.5 billion infrastructure plan running through 2032 that also includes a new main terminal, a rail-terminal tunnel and a second cargo facility. Airport operator Górnośląskie Towarzystwo Lotnicze says parking demand has surged alongside passenger numbers, which are forecast to reach 7.9 million this year and 10.5 million by 2030. The expansion will integrate license-plate recognition, LED lighting and CCTV, and will continue the free shuttle link to passenger terminals initiated during phase one.

Whether you’re a business traveller flying in for meetings or a courier accompanying time-critical cargo, securing the right travel documents is just as important as finding a parking space. VisaHQ’s online platform (https://www.visahq.com/poland/) streamlines visa and travel-authorisation applications for Poland and more than 200 other destinations, letting passengers who pass through Katowice Airport handle paperwork in advance and avoid last-minute delays.
For corporates the additional capacity is more than convenience: Katowice is Poland’s charter-flight leader and a key gateway for Silesian automotive and logistics clusters. Better parking speeds up first-mile journeys for business travellers and short-haul cargo drivers delivering just-in-time parts to nearby plants. Construction is scheduled to finish in Q1 2027, with disruption mitigated by opening new bays in tranches. An adjacent multi-storey car-park and redesigned traffic loop will follow, giving the airport authority flexibility to introduce dynamic pricing and electric-vehicle charging stations in line with EU green-airport targets.
