In June 2026, there were 5,963 aircraft take-offs and landings at Katowice Airport, 48 (+0.8%) more than in the same month last year.

The beginning of July is also an excellent time to review the first half of 2026 at Katowice Airport. From January to June, significant growth was recorded in total and scheduled traffic, as well as in the number of take-offs and landings. In the first half of this year, the airport handled 3,225,151 passengers, 213,855 more than in the same period of 2025. This represents growth of more than 7%.

During the period in question, 1,802,853 passengers used scheduled services, 224,432 more than from January to June 2025 (+14.2%). A decline was recorded only in the charter segment, due to the slowdown in spring caused by the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. In the first half of 2026, charter traffic amounted to 1,410,233 passengers, compared with 1,411,856 a year earlier. The difference was 1,623 passengers (-0.11%).

From January to the end of June 2026, Katowice Airport recorded 24,544 take-offs and landings, 1,168 (+5%) more than in the same period of 2025.

Current forecasts indicate that traffic at Katowice Airport will grow by 5–6% in both July and August. This means that, for the first time in the airport’s history, more than one million passengers will be handled in each of the summer holiday months.
