Routes Europe 2023

The route development forum for Europe

Łódź, Poland
9 – 11 May 2023

Travelling to Łódź

As Europe's last undiscovered city, Routes Europe will be a catalyst for increasing air connectivity to Łódź.

Regular transfers will be available from Łódź Airport to Official Hotels. We understand that for many delegates it will be more convenient to fly to Warsaw, and as a result, event transfers will also be available to and from both Warsaw Chopin Airport and Warsaw Modlin Airport.

We would kindly ask for all Routes Europe delegates, flying into Łódź or Warsaw, to provide us with your travel and accommodation information. Information regarding entry requirements or visa support letters can be found under our official Travel Guidance.

Warsaw Connectivity

"There is huge potential in Poland. We have about 30 aircraft based there and a 35% market share in the country—and we’re going to continue to grow. Our growth plans in Poland are exceptionally strong. The airports are very well managed and most of them have the same ambition as us to grow traffic. I think there is a lot of extra capacity that will enter Poland over the coming years.”
