The runway at Chopin Airport has been repaired.

The runway at Warsaw Chopin Airport was temporarily closed due to damage caused by heat, requiring repairs that could only be completed after cooler temperatures. During a routine inspection, minor cracks were identified on one of the runways, leading to the complete rerouting of air traffic to the second runway. Repairs were carried out overnight, and the runway was reopened early Monday. The repair process required a sealing compound that needed to harden, which was challenging under high temperatures. Officials confirmed that appropriate technology was used to ensure successful repairs. Chopin Airport, Poland’s largest and one of the busiest in Central-Eastern Europe, handled over 21 million passengers in 2024 and is expected to serve 24 million in 2025.

Chopin Airport has shut down one of its runways.

One of the two runways at Warsaw Chopin Airport has been taken out of service after minor cracks were detected during a routine inspection. Operations are currently being conducted using the second runway, and passengers may experience slight delays. According to Piotr Rudzki from the press office of Polish Airports and Chopin Airport, the runway was closed to eliminate any risk, as runways cannot have any unevenness, holes, or cracks. Repairs are expected to take place overnight, using sealing material that requires curing. If completed successfully, both runways should be operational by Monday morning. Chopin Airport is the largest airport in Poland and handles over 24 million passengers annually.
