LOT returns to Asia

Thanks to a codeshare agreement recently signed between Poland's national airline PLL LOT and Singapore Airlines (SA), it will now be easier to travel between Central Europe and South-East Asia.  SA's customers will be able to connect to LOT's daily services to Warsaw through its European hubs of Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Zurich, while the Polish airlines' customers will now have more travel options to Singapore, which also gives them the opportunity to connect to other destinations in South-East Asia and South-West Pacific, mainly Australia.

"This will provide the fastest and most convenient way to travel between Warsaw and Singapore and South-East Asia," Singapore Airlines' executive vice-president of marketing and regions Huang Cheng Eng explained.

"This codeshare agreement means that LOT is returning to the Asian market. This creates the basis for our further presence in Asia, which is part of our strategic development," LOT's vice-president, Piotr Dubno, said. He added that LOT is working on restoring its connection with Beijing.

However, he avoided discussing prices saying: "We will try to make them competitive."
