LOT leases an additional Boeing 767

LOT Polish Airlines has signed a contract for the lease of an additional long-haul B767-300ER aircraft from the Ukrainian carrier, AeroSvit.

The plane has been hired under wet lease terms until 15th January 2012. The Boeing 767 will fly LOT’s routes to Toronto and Hanoi and the first flight, from Warsaw to Toronto, is scheduled for 13th November.

The aircraft’s configuration is very similar to that used by LOT, with 23 business class seats and 182 in the economy class. The in-flight and other services will be identical to those provided in LOT’s own aircraft and the AeroSvit flight attendants will be supported by two members of LOT’s cabin crew.

AeroSvit is Ukraine’s leading airline, offering around sixty routes to twenty-nine countries, including long-haul flights to Thailand, China, India, Canada and the USA. The carrier meets every requirement of international air regulations and holds the International Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certificate, issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
