On September 11, 2025, the eighth edition of the Aviation Market Congress - the most important and largest event of the aviation industry in Poland - will take place in Warsaw. Every year at the Congress we host about 450 participants representing central and local governments of various levels, authorities responsible for aviation, air carriers, machine manufacturers, technology suppliers, regional airports, cargo companies, tour operators, the world of science and industry organizations. The organizers of the Congress are the TOR Economic Advisors Team and the rynek-Lotniczy.pl portal.
In this year's edition, we will devote a lot of space to new investments in airport infrastructure and the connection network. The panelists will try to establish good rules for the sharing of civil-military airports and the division of financial responsibility. How to ensure the development of dual-use infrastructure, its protection and security. How to effectively use PLN 7 billion for the development of airport infrastructure? How do regional ports take over functions hitherto dominated by hubs? How to retain and develop key personnel (pilots, controllers, technicians, MRO, handling, ground services)? Which laws and decisions are hindering the development of the cargo sector?
These questions will be answered by panelists and listeners gathered at the 8th Aviation Market Congress. We invite you to register!
