Polish carrier LOT has launched flights from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport to Brussels and Oslo, with services to Bergen due to begin on Thursday. The new routes expand the airline’s presence at the northern Polish airport and add more direct links to key business and travel markets in Europe.
The carrier said the Gdansk expansion marks another step in its network growth in Poland. Brussels and Oslo are now on sale and operating, while Bergen is set to join the schedule within days.
The new services give passengers more choice on routes between Gdansk and three Nordic and western European cities. They also strengthen connections for travellers heading to Belgium and Norway, where demand often comes from both business and leisure travel.
LOT has been building its international network from regional airports in Poland, aiming to capture demand outside Warsaw as carriers compete for point-to-point and transfer traffic. Gdansk, one of the country’s biggest coastal cities, has increasingly attracted new airline links in recent years because of its tourism appeal, growing economy and access to the wider Tri-City area.
The Brussels route is likely to appeal to business travellers, diplomats and passengers connecting to European Union institutions, while Oslo and Bergen provide access to important Norwegian markets. Bergen also serves as a gateway to western Norway, which is popular for holidays, cruises and outdoor travel.
The launch comes as airlines continue to adjust schedules across Europe, balancing leisure demand with corporate travel and seasonal bookings. For airports, new routes can bring added passenger numbers and help support year-round operations.
LOT did not provide additional details in the source text on frequencies, aircraft type or fares. The airline’s move nevertheless underlines the importance of Gdansk in its wider route strategy and reflects continued competition among carriers serving Poland’s regional airports.
Passengers using the new flights will also benefit from easier access to onward connections through LOT’s wider network. That can make the airline more attractive to travellers who want one-stop journeys beyond the new destinations.
For Gdansk airport, the additions are another sign of international growth. The airport has long served both holidaymakers and business passengers, and new links to Brussels, Oslo and Bergen are likely to broaden its appeal further.
