Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT S.A. trading as LOT Polish Airlines, is the flag carrier of Poland. Based in Warsaw, LOT was established in 1929, making it one of the world’s oldest airlines still in operation. Using a fleet of 55 avión, LOT operates a complex network to 60 destinos en Europa, el Medio Oriente, América del norte, y Asia. Most of the destinations are served from its hub, Warsaw Chopin Airport.
As Poland made the transition to democracy from 1989, the airline began a transformation from a Soviet-controlled carrier to a European flag carrier. LOT started a process of fleet renewal with the purchase of Western aircraft to replace old Soviet models. With the arrival of the first Boeing 767-300ER, LOT started inter-continental services to Chicago, Newark, Toronto, and New York City. These four main routes have been some of the most popular flights that LOT operates, especially during the summer season when many Poles seek to come back to their homeland for vacation. LOT found itself undergoing constant management change in the late 2000s due to worsening financials and reductions in market share. After placing orders for several Boeing 787 aircraft and taking delivery of two, the carrier has found itself “nearly insolvent” due to the January 2013 grounding of the 787. The high quality of services and professionalism of LOT crews have been honored a number of times. En 1996 “Business Travel World” recognized LOT as the best airline in Central and Eastern Europe in Business Class. LOT received the same award in consecutive years: 1997, 1998 y 1999. En 1998 LOT for the first time became a laureate of the “Business Traveller” award for the Best Eastern European Airline. From that year it has been receiving the same award every single year. En 2007 the biggest air travel website in Poland – Pasażer.com awarded LOT with the title of “Best Network Airline in the year 2006”. LOT’s offer for business travelers has also been awarded as well as LOT won the title “Best Airline in Central and Eastern Europe” by OAG in 2001, 2002 y 2009.
LOT’s frequent-flyer programme is called Miles & More, and is shared among several European airlines, including Austrian Airlines, Adria Airways, Croatia Airlines, Lufthansa, Luxair, Swiss International Air Lines, and Brussels Airlines.
