LOT to lease four bigger Dreamliner planes

Polish state-owned airline LOT will lease four new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner planes, company's CEO Rafał Milczarski said. The new machines can carry 294 passengers, 42 more than the 787-8 model currently used by LOT. LOT currently operates six Dreamliner machines, with two more being delivered this year. The four additional machines will be delivered between 2018-19, with the first one arriving in Poland in March next year. According to Milczarski, new planes will help launch new long distance routes. The most recent one, between Warsaw and Los Angeles was launched this week.
