Poland funded the initial work in 2026, covering a new aircraft ramp, taxiways and upgrades to protect the site against terrorist threats. Those three projects are among 17 planned at Wrocław and are expected to be fully operational in 2029.
“This construction at Wrocław APOD marks a vital milestone in our enduring security partnership with Poland,” said U.S. Air Force Col. James Vinson, deputy director of logistics, engineering and force protection for U.S. Air Forces Europe – Air Forces Africa. “It is a prime example of Alliance-driven investment, where our Polish Allies are funding and constructing critical infrastructure that allows us to project and sustain combat-ready Joint forces, reinforcing collective defense along NATO’s eastern flank.”
Follow-on projects, including passenger and cargo terminals, are expected to be fully operational by 2033 at the latest. Poland will maintain and support the facility once construction is complete under the Polish Provided Logistics Support framework.
The Wrocław expansion is part of the Poland Provided Infrastructure program under the U.S.–Poland Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement. The program covers 114 projects, including 78 that support U.S. Air Force operations.
