LOT Polish Airlines to lease 3 Boeing 787-9s
LOT will lease 3 Boeing 787-9s from US-based Aviation Capital Group to further develop its long-haul fleet. The carrier will take delivery of the first aircraft in March 2018, which will be used on trunk routes from Warsaw to New York JFK and Chicago O’Hare. The 294-passenger 787-9s—LOT’s largest aircraft—will be configured for 3 classes, featuring 24 seats in business, 21 in premium and 249 in economy class. The new aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. Four years ago, LOT became the first airline in Europe to operate 787s; it currently operates 6 787-8s and expects to take delivery of another 2 in July and August. LOT said in comparison to the -8, the -9 offers more capacity and lower per-seat operating costs. <br/>
