Ignacy Jan Paderewski Bydgoszcz Airport guide

Bydgoszcz Airport sits about 3 km southwest of the centre of Bydgoszcz, in northern Poland. The airfield dates from 1916-1917, scheduled passenger flights began in 1929, and civilian operations restarted in 1992. The current terminal opened on 1 May 2004.

The airport handled about 433,000 passengers in 2025, up roughly 20 percent on 2024 and above its pre-pandemic peak in 2019. About a quarter of that traffic flew on charters, with routes to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Tunisia. Scheduled service comes from LOT Polish Airlines to Warsaw and, seasonally, Kraków, from Lufthansa to Frankfurt, and from Ryanair to Alicante, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin and London.

The terminal covers about 7,000 square metres and is rated for 500,000 passengers a year. It has seven check-in counters and three gates, two of them with passport control for non-Schengen flights. The paved runway is 2,500 m long and 60 m wide. The company that runs the airport is owned mostly by the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and the city of Bydgoszcz.
