CPK terminal design received. Time for building permit

The CPK company has already received the project of the airport and railway station from Master Architect; Documentation is currently being prepared for submitting applications for building permits to the Masovian Voivode – the company said on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Government Plenipotentiary for CPK Maciej Lasek informed PAP that the project is ready and the company plans to submit applications this year.

The CPK company in Wednesday's announcement pointed out that the receipt of building documentation to the building permit was possible after issuing positive opinions by the Provincial Headquarters of the State Fire Service. She reminded that at the beginning of June the project and documentation regarding the bus station were also received.

According to the company, the project assumes that the area of the CPK passenger terminal will be about 450 thousand. sq m. in the first stage of implementation. The main building of the terminal will be connected to the pirs, which passengers will reach aircraft. Passenger service will take place on three levels. At zero level there will be bus outputs for Schengen and Non-Schengen, luggage collection hall and arrivals. At the first level, Non-Schengen arrivals and departures, transfer centers and passport control will be located. The second level will be check-in check-in, safety control, arrivals and Schengen departure and part of the Non-Schengen arrival zone.

11,000 passengers per hour and 34 million per year

The project predicts that in the first stage of the airport implementation CPK will be able to handle up to approx. 11 thousand. passengers per hour. Nearly 140 check-in check-in stations will be available, with a spatial reserve for the installation of subsequent ones (up to 170 positions in total). In the first phase, the terminal is to be adapted to support 34, and in the second 44 million passengers. The main terminal hall will be built in a larger volume, taking into account the future expansion.

The CPK company assumes that part of the equipment will be able to be moved from the modernized Chopin Airport in the future, which will reduce the costs of purchasing equipment. The communiqué also indicates that the expected target share of transfer passengers who will change to other aircraft at the CPK airport is 35-40 percent.

According to the project, In the first phase, 26 contact stations will be available (i.e. equipped with air sleeves) For narrow -body aircraft and 23 wide -body stands, 18 of which will allow two narrow -body aircraft to be set up in place of one wide -body. Initially, a total of 49-67 machines can be operated in contact stands.

CPK reminded that in the first stage a North Pirs will be built for long-distance flights to the re-schengen and central pirs serving both Schengen and Non-Schengen flights. The construction of the southern pirs is planned in the next stage and will depend on the results of traffic forecasts. The creation of north-east and south-east pirs will be implemented subsequent stages of the airport expansion.
