LOT to launch new EX-YU routes in 2020
LOT Polish Airlines will continue to grow its operations to the former Yugoslavia in 2020 by adding two new routes to its network. The Polish national carrier will commence a one weekly seasonal service from Warsaw to Rijeka from March 29, making it its seventh route to Croatia following flights from Warsaw to Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, Pula and Zadar, as well as from Krakow to Dubrovnik, with the latter launched this year. According to the “Pasazer” portal, the new Rijeka service will operate each Sunday with an Embraer E195 aircraft and run until the end of the 2020 summer season, in late October. Tickets are yet to be put on sale.
Commenting on its growing operations in Croatia, LOT recently said, "Croatia is becoming more and more popular among our passengers each year and is one of the most common holiday destinations in the Mediterranean basin for Polish travellers. We are convinced that, as a result of LOT's enhanced offer, Poles will be even more willing to visit Croatia, as well as plan a longer vacation or weekend trip". The airline codeshares on its services out of Warsaw with fellow Star Alliance member Croatia Airlines. The Polish carrier has been linked to its Croatian counterpart’s prvatisation process on several occasions.
LOT will also commence daily flights between its hub in Budapest and Belgrade starting March 30. Services will run on a daily basis with the E195 jet. “The launch of new international flights from Hungary marks another stage of market consolidation in Central and Eastern Europe, of which LOT is currently becoming an undisputed leader”, the airline said. In addition to Belgrade, LOT is introducing services from the Hungarian capital to Sofia, Prague and Stuttgart. “We also operate flights to each of those destinations from Warsaw and are very pleased with the results. Our analyses showed that those destinations have a huge potential to become successful in Hungary, too”, the company noted.
