Poland’s flag carrier LOT Polish Airlines has chosen Viasat’s Ka-band global in-flight connectivity solution for its 15 aircraft across LOT’s wide-body Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliner fleets.
As part of its ongoing Dreamliner upgrades, LOT will be offering Wi-Fi on board for the first time. The upgrade project will also include a new internal cabin design, seat replacements and more.
These aircraft are expected to begin commercial operations no later than early CY 2026 on LOT’s routes from Warsaw Chopin. “At LOT Polish Airlines, we aim to deliver an exceptional passenger experience,” said Izabela Leszczyńska, Director of Product Development and Customer Experience at LOT Polish Airlines.
“As part of our cabin upgrade, which will provide a new quality of travel, we have partnered with Viasat, a global leader in connectivity, to implement our in-flight connectivity services. Soon we will be able to offer our passengers the much-awaited convenience. The ability to enjoy Internet access while flying will top off the many changes that the retrofit of our Boeing B787 Dreamliner will bring.”
Don Buchman, VP and GM, Commercial Aviation at Viasat commented: “As LOT embarks on this new era of connectivity for passengers, we are excited to be providing them and their passengers with the ability to message, surf and stream while in the air.
“At Viasat, we are aligned on LOT’s ambition to always strive to improve passenger experience. This is the start of a successful relationship that helps us to continue delivering on our mission to provide reliable, high quality in-flight Wi-Fi to passengers as they travel. As demand continues to accelerate across Europe, we look forward to bringing solutions to more passengers worldwide.”
