LOT Polish Airlines is the flag carrier of Poland and one of the oldest airlines in the world, tracing its origins to 1929. Operating from its primary base at Warsaw Chopin Airport, LOT serves destinations across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. The airline has modernized its fleet significantly in recent decades, becoming one of the early operators of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for transatlantic and long-haul routes. LOT is a member of the Star Alliance, connecting its passengers to a global network of partner carriers. LOT has faced various financial challenges over the years, requiring government support at times, but has remained a key player in Central and Eastern European aviation. The airline is owned by the Polish state through the PLL LOT holding structure.
