LOT Polish Airlines resumed its first international flights since the suspension of passenger flights in mid-March on July 1, with flights to Berlin, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Barcelona, Prague, Budapest, Vilnius, Kyiv, Dubrovnik and Split. On July 2, flights to Vienna and Oslo began. From Warsaw’s Chopin Airport, flights to Toronto ramped up to seven times a week (from three) July 1; and to Seoul, up to five times a week, and to Tokyo, up to three times a week, from July 3.

Service to London Heathrow will begin once a day July 15, with twice-a-day service beginning in August. Flights to Tirana, Montenegro and Ukraine have or will also ramp up this month.

“Despite the pandemic restrictions in effect, we are expanding our flight network route from week to week, complementing the resumed domestic and international flights with popular holiday destinations and now also with long-haul flight connections,” said Michał Fijoł, chief commercial officer, LOT Polish Airlines. “The first sales’ figures show that Poles want to go on vacation and will be happy to spend their time abroad. Within a week from the start of the #LOTnaWakacje campaign, the biggest summer campaign in the history of LOT Polish Airlines, we sold over 130,000 seats to individual passengers and tour operators. Many flight connections have already been sold out, and we plan to increase frequency on selected routes. At the same time, there is great interest in new connections, which we have not offered so far from Warsaw.”
