Reus Airport to Add Poland Charter Flights in 2027

The return of Polish service comes after a four-year gap and reflects a wider effort by the Reus airport strategy board and the Tarragona tourism authority to deepen links with eastern Europe. Officials see Poland as a high-potential market for the region, where beach holidays and city visits are the main draws for family and couple travelers.

The bet is backed by demand trends. More than 3 million Polish tourists visited Spain in 2025, up 23.6% from a year earlier, with Catalonia capturing 20% of arrivals and ranking as the second-most popular destination in the country for Polish travelers. On the Costa Daurada, roughly 14,000 Polish visitors stayed in hotels, apartments and campgrounds between January and August 2026.

For the local economy, the new routes should support hotel occupancy, package sales and ancillary spending across the resort zone, while giving travel operators a more direct way to channel a growing source market into the region. The added connectivity also helps Reus compete for seasonal traffic as Mediterranean destinations vie for vacation bookings from Central and Eastern Europe.

Investors will read the move as a demand-led travel story rather than a capacity play, but it still matters for airlines, tour operators and regional tourism businesses that depend on summer traffic and package margins. TUI Poland’s decision to add two weekly routes suggests confidence that the Costa Daurada can absorb more Polish demand even as security concerns in the region remain elevated after recent airspace disruptions in Poland.

The next catalyst will be the extent to which local tourism authorities can convert the new air links into sustained bookings before the 2027 season begins.
