17.05.2010 Bratislava Airport: Inaugural flight with LOT Polish Airlines to Warsaw today

Bratislava Airport and LOT Polish Airlines celebrate the opening of a new 6-weekly route between Bratislava and Warsaw today. Carrying several honoured guests on board like former ambassadors, journalists and other representatives of economical and cultural life on both ends, the inaugural flight took-off Warsaw at 11.40 LT and then took the return journey from Bratislava at 13:45 LT today.

LOT will connect the two capitals - Bratislava and Warsaw with six weekly frequencies (except Saturday). The route will be operated with an ATR-42 aircraft of 46 seats. The current flight schedule is optimized to enable a comfortable less than 90-minutes transfer via Warsaw to further 35 destinations in LOT´s network.

Radek Zabransky, Director for Commerce and Marketing at Bratislava Airport: „Airport Bratislava is pleased to welcome a new legacy carrier to operate from Slovakia, who not only brings an almost daily connection to an economically important partner country Poland, but also opens new opportunities to Slovak travellers to take advantage of LOT´s extensive network from Warsaw, mainly to U.S., Canada and Europe, all at very competitive prices. We believe that LOT’s high quality product will quickly gain its clientele in Slovakia. “
