Airbus 330 will operate on some long-haul flights of LOT Polish Airlines from mid-April to the end of May 2013.
LOT has decided to lease a new Airbus 330, to ensure that its passengers have a comfortable journey and a high standard of board product during a period when Dreamliners cannot operate transatlantic flights.
Airbus 330 with registration numbers CS-TFZ has 18 seats in Business Class and 288 in Economy Class. As assumed, LOT flights by this aircraft will be operated under a "wet-lease" principle with partial involvement of LOT Polish Airlines cabin crew. Service standard and on-board service will be the same as on board aircraft belonging to the Polish carrier.
The plane has been leased from the Portuguese operator – Hi Fly. The first flight of Airbus is scheduled for 12 April 2013. As planned, the plane will operate flights to Chicago and New York to the end of May 2013.
