History

A now retired LOT Charters Boeing 737-400

LOT Charters launched flight operations on 1 June 2009. The airline expected 400,000 annual passengers on its short and long haul flights (the latter ones being operated using the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft of mainline LOT), which would allow it to reach a 25 percent market share and establish a leading position among charter carriers operating on the Polish market. Charter contracts have been signed with Neckermann, TUI, and Rainbow Tours amongst others.[3]

LOT Charters was scheduled to close its operations in October 2013, as LOT removed all of its Boeing 737-400s used by LOT Charters out of its fleet. This is part of the fleet restructuring program to renew LOT's fleet with newer aircraft, replacing the twenty-year-old Boeing 737 and 767s.[4] However, LOT Charters hasn't been closed and is currently offering charter operations using other aircraft of the mainline LOT fleet, including the Boeing 787-8.[5]

Fleet

As of February 2015, LOT Charters does not have any aircraft of its own. Instead, it use aircraft of its parent company, LOT.
