The hub will allow to transfer goods, including aviation fuel, and supply all aircraft operating at Katowice Airport with fuel.
On 13 December 2023 (Wednesday) The Upper Silesian Aviation Group (GTL SA), the company managing Katowice Airport, announced a tender for selection of a construction works contractor as part of the co-funded by the European Union (“Connecting Europe Facility” (CEF) 2021-2027 Military Mobility) project: “Construction of a multimodal goods and fuel delivery hub with railway siding connection at Katowice Airport.” Offers shall be made by 17 January 2024, up to 10.00am, via the JOSEPHINE platform, a tool for the electronification of public procurement.
As part of the investment, a railway siding connecting Katowice Airport with the Central Rail Line (Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa) via railway line No. 182 Zawiercie – Tarnowskie Góry will be created.

As a result of a consequently realised investment program, we not only handle passenger traffic, but also have the biggest aircraft maintenance base among Polish regional airports, as well as a modern cargo area. Construction of the hub will allow to commence activities in the fourth area, related to storage and distribution of aviation fuel. The project has a significant environmental aspect, as various goods will be able to be transported to the airport via railway, which is an ecological form of transportation. It is worth emphasising that the construction of the multimodal hub at Katowice Airport, as well as the
