What they said

Robert Ludera, Director, Network & Alliances at LOT Polish Airlines, “The Stavanger and Rogaland region is not only one of the most important oil industry centres in Europe, but also an area that stands out thanks to its tourist attractions, which continuously attract an increasing numbers of travellers. I do believe that our direct flights to Stavanger will facilitate travel between Poland and Norway, complementing the existing connections to Oslo.”

LOT launches seventh new routes this year

Stavanger joins a growing list of routes to be inaugurated by LOT Polish Airlines this year. It joins new services from Warsaw WAW to Reykjavik, Malta, Thessaloniki and Marrakesh. The carrier has also added flights from Warsaw RDO to Barcelona, as well as from Krakow to Paris ORY. Its network will further grow this year with the introduction of flights between Warsaw WAW and Rovaniemi.

So far, LOT has announced the addition of Malaga, San Francisco and Bologna to its network for next year.

The growth is part of LOT Polish Airlines’ 2024 – 2028 strategy, which aims to boost the carrier’s revenues, fleet size, passenger numbers and destination network.

Under the strategy, LOT Polish Airlines’ network will include the launch of almost 20 new scheduled destinations over the four-year period, including short, medium and long-haul routes.
