LOT Polish Airlines Confirms Revival Of The Warsaw-Lyon Route

To cater to the rise in demand for nonstop flights between Poland and Central and Eastern France, LOT Polish Airlines has announced the reintroduction of the Warsaw-Lyon route. The direct connection between the two cities will be re-established on September 30, 2024. Starting from that date, the flag carrier of Poland will operate six flights weekly between its primary hub and the capital of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The services will run on all days except Saturday. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, flight LO345 will depart Warsaw at 08:10, while the return leg – LO346 – will leave Lyon at 11:20. If those timings don’t work, perhaps travelling one of the remaining three days may fit better. On Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, the LOT Polish Airlines flight LO347 leaves Warsaw at 16:00, whereas the return service – LO348 – departs from Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport at 19:10 (all times mentioned are local).

The flight time for each sector will be approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. The carrier will operate an Embraer 195 aircraft on this route.

Vietnam Airlines To Begin Direct Flights Between Hanoi And Milan

Vietnam’s flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines, has confirmed a new nonstop route to Europe, bringing the total to nine. Beginning July 1, 2025, the airline will operate three weekly flights to Milan, Italy, from Hanoi on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. A Boeing 787 Dreamliner will serve passengers on the newly announced route. The airline also plans to link Milan with Ho Chi Minh City after 2025.

For Italy, Vietnam is the largest trading partner in the ASEAN. On the other hand, Italy is ranked as the fourth largest trading partner within the European Union. Establishing a direct link between Milan and Vietnam is based on the rise of travellers. Last year, the Southeast Asian nation welcomed 81,000 tourists from Italy, about 89 per cent of pre-pandemic levels. In the first quarter of 2024, a 32 per cent rise in travellers from Italy to Vietnam has been recorded compared to the same period in 2019.

Vietnam Airlines’ present European network already includes direct flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Paris, Frankfurt, and London. Next month, a direct service to Munich, Germany, will strengthen the carrier’s presence in Europe.
