On 21 October 2025 (Tuesday), for the first time in history, a Boeing 777F belonging to Central Airlines, a Chinese cargo airline, landed at Katowice Airport. Consequently, charter cargo flights connecting the Chinese city of Chengdu and Katowice Airport commenced. The route is handled for Chinese shopping platforms with a frequency of three to five flights weekly.

Katowice Airport is the biggest regional airport in Poland in commercial air cargo traffic. The forecast indicates that the airport will note the best result in its history in 2025 when it comes to cargo traffic by handling approx. forty-five thousand tonnes of freight.
