Well it's not going to be LOT anymore!
What does this mean for TUI and LOT?
TUI Travel UK leisure carrier Thomson Airways has been told by class="infusionLink">Boeing that it will be the European launch customer for the class="infusionLink">Boeing 787.
Thomson Airways already knew it would launch the 787 in the UK market when its first delivery arrives in January 2012, but it was competing with class="infusionLink">LOT Polish Airlines to be the European number one.
Delays to the 787 programme and the subsequent reshuffling of deliveries mean it has been difficult to tell which of the two carriers would be first to take the aircraft. But speaking during a media briefing at the class="infusionLink">Farnborough air show, TUI Travel chief executive Peter Long said: "Boeing did say, last night, that not only would we be first in the UK, but also first in Europe."
