Terminals

The airport has two passenger terminals operating 24 hours a day, connected to each other by a pedestrian bridge at the upper level:

• Terminal 1: Older building used exclusively for departures of flights to countries outside the Schengen Area. It is currently out of service and is planned to be demolished once the expansion works of Terminal 2 are completed.
• Terminal 2: Modern facility where all arrivals (both Schengen and non-Schengen) and departures of flights within the Schengen Area are handled.

Annual Traffic (2024): 6.7 million passengers.

Parking services at Gdansk airport (GDN)

The facility offers a parking system organised into different zones adapted to each passenger’s needs, ranging from quick drop-offs to long-term stays. All parking areas are managed directly by the airport and are located within a short walking distance of the terminals.

Kiss & Fly Zone

Located directly in front of the terminal entrances, this area is designed exclusively for the quick drop-off and pick-up of passengers. Access is free for the first 10 minutes. Please note that free use is limited to a maximum of three entries per day; additional entries or exceeding the permitted time will result in significant charges.

Short Stay

These car parks are ideal for those accompanying passengers to the terminal or carrying out quick errands:

• P3: Situated next to Terminal 2, it offers immediate proximity to the check-in and arrivals areas.

Medium and Long Stay

For trips lasting several days or weeks, the airport offers more economical options:

• P4 and P5: Balanced options in terms of cost and proximity, located just a few minutes’ walk from the terminal.
• P6 (Economy): A more distant area and therefore the most economical option for extended stays.
• P7 and P8 (Low-Cost): Additional parking areas mainly used to cover demand during peak seasons.

Reservations and Payments

Online Booking: It is possible to reserve a parking space in advance via the official website to guarantee availability and access reduced rates. You can make your reservation through the booking portal.
