Abstract
The subject of the article is the economic analysis of passenger transport at polish airports before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Air transport is considered as an integral part of polish transport system, which significantly increased the dynamism of service development, after joining the European Union by Poland. Along with the globalization of production and international economic exchange, the demand for efficient communication between airports is increasing. During the initial phase of the pandemic, the passenger transport had stopped altogether and afterwards was significantly weaker compared to the times prior to the pandemic. It was caused by the closure of borders and partial suspension of transport connections. One of the key tasks for airports is the provision of passenger service at the appropriate level. The level of passenger service can be considered satisfying his needs in terms of quality, punctuality, comfort and reliability. Important issues in ensuring the appropriate quality of service is the possibility for the passenger to choose more than one airport, as well as the profit from non-aviation activities. One of the most important factors influencing the passenger service process is the activity of air carriers, staff and management of the airport, as well as services located within the airport. As a consequence of spreading the coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide and the actions taken by the authorities, the demand for international traveling at polish airports ceased to exist at the time. The article presents an economical analysis of passenger transport before and during the pandemic.
