Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT świętują 97 lat!

On January 1, 2026, LOT Polish Airlines celebrated its birthday – the 97th anniversary of its operations. It is one of the oldest airlines in the world, which for decades has played a key role in the development of Polish aviation and connects Poland with the most important destinations in the world.

LOT Polish Airlines was founded in 1929 and has been continuously developing its route network, fleet, and passenger services ever since. Over the course of nearly a century, the carrier has undergone a tremendous transformation – from regional connections in Europe to long-haul intercontinental flights, including to the Middle East, Asia, and North America.

On the occasion of its anniversary, the carrier emphasizes that in the coming years it will consistently follow the path of profitable growth. The strategy assumes further strengthening of LOT's position on the European market, development of long-haul connections, and investments in a modern fleet and quality of passenger service.
