LOT Polish Airlines to fly from Newark starting in April
LOT Polish Airlines will begin flying from Newark Liberty International Airport on April 28. The carrier revealed its intention to begin flying from Newark earlier in September during a broader expansion announcement, but LOT had not revealed a start date for the service. LOT will begin by flying three weekly flights between Newark and Warsaw before adding a fourth weekly flight in June. The airline says it will initially fly the route with leased Boeing 767-300 jets before switching to its new Boeing 787 Dreamliners in August. LOT’s leased 767s will operate with business and coach class cabins. The Dreamliners also have LOT’s premium economy cabin. LOT previously flew to Newark, but discontinued that service in 2012 to "consolidate" its New York-area operations at New York JFK. “Newark is one of the most important airports to the Polish diaspora on the east coast of the United States. I am pleased that we are able to relaunch that route after a break lasting several years, ensuring our fellow countrymen the most comfortable flights to Poland,” LOT CEO Rafał Milczarski said. Tickets for the route will go on sale Tuesday (Oct. 4).<br/>
