LOT Polish Airlines commenced five new routes in five different countries from Warsaw Chopin (WAW) on Wednesday 30 March. These latest route launches confirm the Star Alliance member’s route expansion strategy, following on from earlier in the month when it added four new connections from the Polish capital.
The longest sector of the latest launches is the 2,345-kilometre link to Beirut (BEY) which will be flown thrice-weekly. The shortest connection from Chopin is the 388-kilometre airport pair with Košice (KSC), a route which will be flown six times weekly by the carrier’s Q400 fleet. None of the five new connections will face direct competition according to OAG Schedules Analyser data.
