The new hub will be located in the southeastern part of Katowice Airport and will connect to the Central Railway Line via rail line 182. It will feature a rail unloading front for goods and fuels, three 1,000 m³ tanks, and tanker unloading bays. Additionally, in the restricted zone of the airport, filling bays for airport tankers will be constructed. The project aims to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of cargo and fuel transshipment, reducing road transport in favor of rail. It will also support alternative fuels to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, and be suitable for dual civil-military use.
