The Central Communication Port (also known as "Port Polska") is a planned large-scale transport hub integrating an airport, railway and road connections — located between Warsaw and Łódź.
A new world-class airport designed to handle at least 34 million passengers per year. Location: municipalities of Baranów, Wiskitki and Teresin (Masovian Voivodeship), 37 km west of Warsaw.
A network of new railway lines connecting CPK to the whole of Poland. Trains up to 320 km/h. The "100 minutes" concept — travel to 8 major Polish cities in under 100 minutes.
Roughly halfway between Warsaw and Łódź, in central Poland. The site spans three municipalities: Baranów, Wiskitki and Teresin in the Masovian Voivodeship.
Centralny Port Komunikacyjny sp. z o.o., operating under the brand "Port Polska". The company is 100% owned by the Polish State Treasury.
