Centralwings counts on LOT to finance development

Now that the first summer season for the company is over, it has become clear that the zł.5 million that Centralwings has at its disposal is not enough for the firm to survive on the rapidly expanding market. "Due to the incredible growth of the market Centralwings has to speed up its development. Our business plan has already been accepted by the supervisory board," said Piotr Kociołek, Centralwings's president. Instead of the originally planned two airplanes a year, the carrier wants to expand its fleet to 10 planes next year, and to 24 by the year 2010. "I'm sure that the company's development plan will be taken into account in preparing the LOT group's plans," said Kociołek. Puls Biznesu speculates that the sum in question could be over zł.47 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 9) A.F.
