The present invention relates to a process for producing alpha-olefin polymers in a multistage polymerization process which includes at least two gas phase polymerization reactors, wherein unreacted gas withdrawn from the second gas phase polymerization reactor is compressed in a compressor and said compressed gas is fed via a conveying gas line into an outlet between a first outlet vessel downstream of the first gas phase polymerization reactor and said second gas phase polymerisation reactor. Such a process can alleviate problems of malfunction, disturbances or plugging of the transfer lines and enables higher productivity and considerable saving of energy and equipment cost. Moreover, the production of alpha-olefin polymers with varying and tailored properties is possible.
