LOT Polish Airlines (Polish: Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT) is the flag carrier airline of Poland.
History
The airline was founded on 29 December 1928 by the Polish government during the Second Polish Republic as a self-governing limited liability corporation, taking over existing domestic airlines Aerolot (founded in 1922) and Aero (founded in 1925), and began operations on 1 January 1929. The first aircraft used by LOT were Junkers F.13 and Fokker F.VII with the inaugural international service to Vienna, Austria, beginning on 2 August 1929.
LOT Polish Airlines in British Columbia
LOT started its Vancouver–Warsaw flights in 1986 for Expo 86 with an Ilyushin Il-62M. The Il-62M was replaced on the service in 1992, ; it was followed by the Boeing 767-200ER from 1992 to 1994, then the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 from 1994 to 1995, and then the Lockheed L1011 from 1995 to 1998. From 1998 until 2013 it was flown with the Boeing 767-300ER; since the retirement of that type, this service is operated with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
