LOT Polish Airlines Links Warsaw With Tashkent

Poland’s flag carrier, LOT Polish Airlines, has launched a new route to Uzbekistan. Three weekly flights will fly from the Polish capital, Warsaw, to the capital city of the Asian country. The outbound flights are scheduled for Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, whereas the return legs will depart from Tashkent on Thursdays, Saturdays and Mondays. The airline confirms that in April and May of this year, an additional rotational service will be introduced on this route. That will fly out and into Warsaw on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, respectively.

LOT Polish Airlines will use a Boeing 737 MAX 8 on this newly introduced link between the two capitals. The first flight left the Polish tarmac at 22:55 on March 13, 2024, and landed in Tashkent a few minutes after 09:00 (both times mentioned are local) on March 14, 2024. The new service is part of the carrier’s 2024-2028 development strategy. Apart from this route, the airline has already introduced connections to Athens (Greece) and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). It aims to add 20 new connections to strengthen its international network.

Farnborough Airshow: Airbus And Abra Group Sign MoU For A350s

The majority investor of Avianca and Gol Airlines, Abra Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus at the Farnborough International Airshow 2024. The MoU involves five A350-900s to strengthen long-distance flight operations and increase capacity. The idea is to provide better connectivity from Latin America to the rest of the world.

The Airbus A350 can accommodate 300 to 410 passengers, depending on the configuration. With its aerodynamic design, lightweight materials, and new-gen engines, the aircraft can fly up to 9,700 nautical miles nonstop. Compared to the previous-gen jet, the A350 offers a 25 per cent reduction in fuel consumption, operating costs and CO2 emissions. Airbus also claims a 50 per cent reduction in noise.

Airbus has sold more than 1,300 aircraft in Latin America and the Caribbean. The European manufacturer has a leading market share of in-service passenger jets, with 800 already in operation and the remaining 500 are yet to be delivered.

Farnborough Airshow: flynas Intends To Buy 90 More Airbus Jets

At the Farnborough International Airshow 2024, flynas and Airbus inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for 90 more aircraft. The low-cost carrier from Saudi Arabia has shown interest to purchase 75 A320neo family aeroplanes and 15 A330-900s. This is in addition to the airline’s order for Airbus narrowbody jets, a deal the duo cracked during last year’s Paris Air Show.

The additional aircraft order with the European manufacturer will help the carrier strengthen its regional and international routes. Per the paperwork, the A330-900 will feature a two-class configuration, offering seating capacity for 400 passengers. The aircraft comes packed with two new-gen Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, new wings and several aerodynamic enhancements. As a result, it delivers a 25 per cent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to its predecessor. The Airbus A330-900 offers a range of 8,150 nautical miles (15,094 km), plenty for those long routes.
