I have not seen or heard of any LOT transatlantic cuts but flights from Poland to the US and Canada are less and less. I understand 2 older 762s have been given back but they still have I think at least 4 763s.
My parents are headed to Poland and the travel agent said that LOT has been cutting flights to every other day (from ORD).
Chicago is their most important transatlantic destination and in the summer they can have up to 3 flights to ORD from KRK and WAW.
Me and another airline nutjob like myself went for a stroll in the international terminal and saw that LOT had cancelled BOTH flights from Poland to ORD.
I checked flightaware these past 2 weeks rarely seeing an ORD-Polska route.
I usually see 1 763 to PL from NewYork or toronto.

I did KRK-ORD-KRK back in October and both flights were full and on-time.
Maybe those are just the seasonal cuts - November being the low season - or they have a technical problem with one of their 763s again. The two 762s SP-LOA and LOB are gone.

Quoting LH431 (Reply 5): And what about Rzeszow/Reichshof? Confused Or is it via KRK, but with same-plane/flight number
This is a smart marketing move for LO. Besides aiming at Malopolska/Podkarpacie Polish clients, many travelers are also from Western Ukraine. Lviv - the biggest city in the region is just 180 km from RZE.

Reducing regional routes?
What will happen to the e170/5s they have then?
Whats the use of MORE regional flights? Who other than bussiness man can afford to fly 1-350 miles for a flight and for the ticket price that it would cost.
I have family who take a bus to London to save money (which i think is too bad) but I doubt too many people could make that work.
Plus the only aircraft other than those jetstreams are embraer brasilias that could do the job.

Are you using flightaware? It sometimes doesn't show TATL flights.
I show 3 flights today.
LOT5 EPKK-KORD
LOT11 EPWA-KEWR
LOT41 EPWA-CYYZ

The are left with 5 763 - LPA, LPB, LPC, LPE and LPF. Due to reduced demand the winter schedule is operated with 3 763 (20 weekly rotations from Poland to the US/Canada). Remaining two aircraft are either wet-leased for some charters or in storage at WAW. It is interesting to see what happens for summer 2009 season, since 762s - LOA and LOB - are gone, LOT needs to get two extra 763s to offer the same number of flights as this past summer.

Toronto has a strong Polish immigrant population so Warsaw - Toronto isn't in any danger of being cut....

AC which used to codeshare LOT flights just dumped their remaining 767-200s. Not sure how many 762s LOT has left but LOT was an early customer for 767s so their 767-200s must be getting old...
The engine is the heart of an airplane, but the pilot is its soul.

LOs 762s are gone. One is already with MX, the other is about to join in shortly.
LOs 763s will remain until 787s arrive. If this "airline" does not go out of business before then...

No; I used a combination of the Star timetable and airport websites. Flightaware would be a lot easier...if it worked.
