Lufthansa to add new destinations in Poland while leaving

"We are considering Rzeszów, Łódź, Bydgoszcz and Szczecin. Moreover, we would like to offer two flights daily from each airport to which we fly in Poland," said Thorsten Bohg, managing director of Lufthansa in Poland. By the end of 2005, the airline, in cooperation with LOT, plans to have transported 1 million passengers between Poland and Germany. "Over half will constitute passengers of Lufthansa," said Bohg. The airline also has a clear vision of its presence in the region. "LOT is our strong regional partner and we believe that it should create a flight network with all the airports of Eastern Europe. We will not enter this market, but offer these destinations as part of our cooperation with LOT," explained Bohg. In his opinion, the airport in Warsaw has a good chance of becoming the regional hub of Star Alliance for the CEE. (Puls Biznesu, p. 10) M.M.
