Krakow Airport's summer timetable is its busiest ever with 33 new services including Dubrovnik and Zadar in Croatia, Bordeaux and Nice in France, Reykjavik in Iceland and Bucharest in Romania. Ryanair and Wizz Air provide 11 and 18 of the new services respectively while LOT will increase the frequency of its Chicago route to three flights per week. The airport's $264 million master plan includes a number of key projects that are designed to help establish Krakow as a "central communication port" and Poland's largest regional gateway by 2036. Krakow Airport's carefully phased development programme includes plans for a new runway, extensions to the existing passenger terminal, the addition of a bigger and more modern cargo terminal and expansion of the apron to ensure that it is equipped to handle up to 12mppa. A total of 6.7 million passengers (+16%) passed through the airport in 2018 with London, Warsaw and Frankfurt proving the most popular routes in terms of passenger numbers. Studies conducted by operator, Krakow-Balice International Airport Ltd, predict that by 2036 the airport will primarily be handling regional O&D services to Europe operated by aircraft such as the B737 and the A320.
