On 24 July 2024, The Upper Silesian Aviation Group (GTL S.A.) – the company managing Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport in Pyrzowice, Poland – signed an agreement with construction works contractor for project "Construction of a multimodal goods and fuel delivery hub with railway siding connection at Katowice Airport." The tender was won by a consortium formed by Mostostal Kraków S.A. and Budimex S.A.

As part of the agreement with the consortium, construction works will take place in the south-eastern part of Katowice Airport, resulting in the creation of a railway siding connecting Katowice Airport with the Central Rail Line (Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa) via railway line 182 (Tarnowskie Góry – Zawiercie). An unloading front allowing to load and unload goods and fuel will be the heart of the investment; it will abut three 1000 m³ containers and unloading stands for fuel trucks. In the area of the hub located in the restricted part of the airport, stands with fuelling pumps for aviation fuel trucks will be created. The total value of the agreement is PLN 144.3M gross (approx. EUR 33.5M).

Participants of the signing meeting:

Construction works, start-up and acquisition of all required administrative decisions allowing to use the Multimodal Goods and Fuel Delivery Hub, concluded with the signing of a final report, will finish up to 23 months from the day of signing the Agreement. In accordance with the schedule, "Construction of a multimodal goods and fuel delivery hub with railway siding connection at Katowice Airport" should conclude by 30 June 2026 at the latest. The project received co-funding from the European Union under "Connecting Europe Facility" (CEF) 2021-2027 Military Mobility; the grant constitutes up to 50% of eligible costs.
