LOT Polish Airlines

LOT Polish Airlines, legally incorporated as Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT S.A., is the flag carrier of Poland.

Established in 1928, LOT was a founding member of IATA and remains one of the 12 world’s oldest airlines in operation.

With a fleet of 74 aircraft as of 2022, LOT Polish Airlines is the 18th largest operator in Europe with over 120 destinations across Europe, Asia and North America.

The airline was founded on 29 December 1928 by the Polish government during the Second Polish Republic as a self-governing limited liability corporation, taking over existing domestic airlines Aerolot (founded in 1922) and Aero (founded in 1925), and began operations on 1 January 1929. LOT’s “emblem” has been invariably a crane since 1931.
LOT was the first airline in Europe having a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in its fleet.

Most of the destinations originate from its hub at Warsaw Chopin Airport. LOT has been a member of Star Alliance since 2003.
