LOT Modifies Ukrainian Network

LOT Polish Airlines is to open a new link between Warsaw and Donetsk, expanding its presence in the Ukrainian market. It already provides a daily links to Kiev Borispol, Lviv and Odessa from Frederic Chopin Airport in the Polish capital. The new service will be flown three times every week using a mix of Embraer 170 and 175 models from June 3. Meanwhile, in a further change to its network in the country, LOT will substitute the Boeing 737-500 it currently uses on flights to the western city of Lviv with a smaller ATR 42 until November. This is not due to demand changes but simply as a result of runway works at the airport. Around 149,000 O&D passengers travelled between Poland and Ukraine in the year ending January 2011, with more than 53 per cent using the flights of LOT.
