Significance
Warsaw-Modlin Airport became the second airport serving the Warsaw metropolitan area and the main national base for low-cost airlines (including Ryanair and Wizz Air), relieving Chopin Airport in the low-cost segment. Opened on 7 July 2012, with a capacity set at 3–3.5 million passengers per year, the airport quickly approached its capacity limit: in 2023 it handled 3,400,967 passengers, and in 2024 – 2,794,464 passengers. The high level of terminal utilization became the basis for plans to expand it to serve 7–8 million passengers per year.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.
