Over the next three years, one of four logistics bases being developed in Poland to support the United States Armed Forces will be built at Wrocław-Strachowice Airport. The Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD) Wrocław-Strachowice is a military air logistics base for receiving and handling personnel, equipment and materials. The project is based on the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) between Poland and the United States. The new infrastructure strengthens defence capabilities and improves the logistical and operational capabilities of the allied forces stationed in Poland.

PORR will deliver five key components for the APOD:

Aircraft parking apron with four stands for C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft,
Aircraft parking apron with three stands for C-130 Hercules aircraft,
Taxiways connecting to the aprons,
Military fire station building and
Airport duty technician facility

Completion in 2029

The completion of construction works and certification of the military airport infrastructure as part of the international airport are scheduled for 2029. The APOD will then also have full operational readiness to accommodate military aircraft.

PORR CEO Karl-Heinz Strauss: “PORR has decades of experience in the design and construction of buildings and infrastructure in the security sector, as well as airport infrastructure itself. With this project, it is once again demonstrating its expertise in delivering complex infrastructure developments of strategic importance. As a reliable partner, PORR is implementing a key project to strengthen national security and economic development in Poland”.
