Poland, Warsaw - The Polish flag carrier LOT is leasing two Airbus A340-300 from Air Belgium.
LOT Polish will operate the four-engined widebody jets between Warsaw and Toronto until the end of October 2020.
Air Belgium will send both aircraft to LOT with their crews. The Polish carrier already has 15 Dreamliners (eight Boeing 787-8 and seven Boeing 787-9) in the fleet for its long-haul routes.
But the company foresees additional demand for long-haul destinations from Warsaw in 2020.
Air Belgium has four Airbus A340-300 jets in its fleet. They are operated on the airline's Guadeloupe and Martinique routes, but they also regularly fly for third parties. For instance, Surinam Airways often used the A340s of Air Belgium for scheduled flights between Paramaribo and Schiphol.
