WARSAW, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Poland has selected Vinci Airports and the IFM Global Infrastructure Fund to invest 8 billion zloty (1.9 billion U.S. dollars) in the construction of a new mega airport near capital Warsaw, a government plenipotentiary for the project said Tuesday.

Marcin Horala, also deputy minister of funds and regional policy, announced the decision on social media platform X, stating that the investors will take up "a minority stake" in the operating company of the Solidarity Transport Hub (CPK).

The government will "acquire capital while maintaining ownership and control" of the CPK project by working with a minority investor, he said.

The new air hub is designed to integrate air, rail, and road transport, with plans to commence operations in 2028, serving 40 million passengers annually, and expanding to accommodate up to 65 million passengers by 2060, as per the International Air Transport Association.
