Even if you’re not a frequent flyer, there’s a good chance you’ll have passed through airports such as London Heathrow, Istanbul, or Dubai International over the course of your travels.
Serving as international hubs, each serves millions of passengers every year.
But the coming decade is set to see a big shake up to the aviation industry with a number of new mega airports joining the scene – including one in Europe.
Port Polska, Poland, to become one of Europe’s biggest transport hubs
Originally named Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK), Port Polska is set to open between the Polish capital Warsaw and the city of Łódź in 2032.
With two runways, the hub will have capacity to welcome around 40 million passengers annually, becoming one of the largest in Europe.
Plans for the travel hub also include the addition of a railway station, with the intention of connecting the airport to cities such as Kraków, Gdańsk and Wrocław by high-speed rail.
Construction is set to begin this year, with British architectural studio Foster + Partners designing the hub.
