Throughout the years, Warsaw Airport has managed to maintain its position as one of Europe’s and the world’s leading airports - it has changed and developed, expanding its route network. 79 years ago, passengers were handled in a modern and spacious, by the day’s standards, terminal located in 17 Stycznia street. Now, they use the state-of-the-art, comfortable Terminal A in Żwirki i Wigury street. The Warsaw airport has been named after Fryderyk Chopin - Polish pianist and composer - since 21 March 2001.
