Flights to Chicago return to the network of the Kraków Airport’s connections after nearly seven years of absence. Over 90,000 passengers flew from Kraków to Chicago using connection flights last year. Since 2012, the average number of passengers on this route has been increasing by 17% per annum. These positive findings of detailed traffic analyses influenced a decision to launch a direct route to Chicago.
The overseas flights are the most important of this year’s 28 novelties at the Kraków Airport. They constitute a great offer both for the citizens living in southern Poland and Americans who visit Poland more and more often for tourism, business, or scientific purposes.

The new LOT connection is handled by the most cutting-edge aircraft in the world, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which emits the least amount of noise in its category. This makes it not only passenger-friendly, but also less bothersome to Kraków citizens and the inhabitants of the areas surrounding the airport.
