The Hungarian airline Wizz Air has added one aircraft to its Katowice base twice in the last 12 months. Sixth one in June 2025, seventh in the autumn. It is adding the eighth plane for the summer of 2026. Thanks to the new aircraft, new routes are being created and some existing ones see their frequency increased.
The eighth plane will allow the opening of five new routes - to Dubrovnik, Ohrid, Rijeka, Rimini and Varna. The carrier will then serve thirty destinations from Katowice.
During the summer 2025 flight schedule, Wizz Air flew from Katowice to 25 destinations in fifteen countries. Namely to Alicante, Athens, Barcelona, Burgas, Catania, Chisinau, Corfu, Dortmund, Eindhoven, Fuerteventura, KeflavĂk, Kutaisi, Larnaca, Liverpool, London (Luton), Madeira, Madrid, Malaga, Malta, Naples, Pisa, Podgorica, Rome (Fiumicino), Split and Tenerife (South).
The airport has had a record start to the year. In January 2026, the airport handled a record 374 thousand passengers, which is the best January in its history. This broke the previous record from January 2025, when the airport handled 357 thousand people. The forecast expects the airport to handle approximately 7.9 million passengers for the entire year of 2026.
In 2025, Katowice Airport achieved the best results in history. It recorded record results in total passenger transport, both in scheduled and charter operations. 7,299,085 passengers have been handled.
