LOT Polish Airlines to acquire 11 more Boeing 737-8s

The CEO of LOT Airlines, Michał Fijoł, announced last week that by mid-, the Polish airline would acquire new narrow-body Boeing 737-8 jets, of which it already has 11. According to the CEO, the first deliveries will comprise three aircraft, scheduled to arrive between the start of the summer season, from the end of March to mid-2024. The remaining eight will be delivered by June 2025, and they will be in a slightly different configuration with new colors and seats. The Boeing aircraft will be acquired through operating leases from leasing companies such as Aviation Capital Group (ACG), Air Lease Corporation (ALC), and McGuire. After the delivery of the new aircraft, LOT Airlines will have a fleet of 86 jets, provided that all currently operated aircraft continue to fly for the Polish carrier. Overall, the number of available seats on LO will increase by over 2,000, reaching 13,500.<br/>
