Our summer results allow us to look into the future with great optimism. I stand by my earlier forecast that LOT will carry 10 million passengers this year – Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines.
Present in the international sky since 1929, and hailed as the 12th oldest airline worldwide, LOT Polish Airlines carried record 1,041,427 passengers in July 2023. This is the highest number of passengers carried in a single month in the 94-year history of LOT Polish Airlines. The seat factor for flights performed in July 2023 was equally robust at 83.5 percent and increased more than 4 percentage point compared to the same period in 2019.
LOT Polish India operation covers direct routes from Delhi and Mumbai to Polish capital Warsaw. The airline flies five weekly from Delhi and twice weekly from Mumbai to its Polish hub, offering Indian passengers not only direct connectivity to Poland but also to its strong network in central and Eastern Europe as well as airports in Unites States, Canada, among others.
Meanwhile commenting on the historic 94-year passenger record milestone, LOT Polish Airlines’ CEO Michał Fijoł, said, “A very successful first half of the summer is behind us. Our summer results allow us to look into the future with great optimism. I stand by my earlier forecast that LOT will carry 10 million passengers this year.”
The July 2023 passenger numbers are proof that not only has the airline industry recovered from months of pandemic-related restrictions but also that demand for air services is higher than in the same period in 2019.
Within the national network, the largest number of our passengers travelled to Cracow (28,260), Gdansk (25,485) and Wroclaw (22,098), on short-haul flights: to London (27,321), Vilnius (22,269) and Tel Aviv (22,080). On long-haul flights, on the other hand, New York (30,724), Toronto (29,596) and Chicago (23,507) were the most popular destinations.
