LOT Works to Launch Beijing Connection

LOT Polish Airlines is currently awaiting a decision from the relevant authorities in China to secure take-off and landing slots at Beijing Capital International Airport for a new regular link from Warsaw. It hopes to receive the necessary permits in the coming months when it will then finalise the schedule of the new service and upload this into its reservation system for launch next year.

Its plans received a welcome fillip earlier this month when Russian aviation authorities gave the green light to its plans to route its aircraft across Siberia. This has been a significant development in the process as flying into Russia via Siberia, opens up the shortest air corridor, which will bring savings in terms of both fuel consumption and flight duration.
