LOT to Resume European and Long-Haul Routes

This summer, the aviation industry will gradually recover from the pandemic, which means greater availability of holiday destinations. To address the expectations of passengers, LOT will operate more tourist connections. The flight network will also be expanded to include selected regular European and long-haul destinations, and tickets for these connections are already available for sale.

This summer, not only will LOT offer the passengers over 100 attractive destinations in Europe but also reinstate selected connections to North America and Asia. Due to the pandemic and reduced demand for travel, the flight network will be handled in approx. 50% compared to the summer of 2019. This season, the air carrier has attracted its focus on tourist destinations that enjoys the biggest popularity among Poles which are, at the same time, safe for the travellers. According to the forecasts for the aviation industry, it is tourism traffic that will represent an important part of the air transport market undergoing restoration. LOT will also handle chartered flights operated in cooperation with travel agencies.
