LOT announces new services to Chicago

   LOT Polish Airlines will begin two new services connecting Chicago and Poland.
   Chief Executive Officer Marcin Pirog said Wednesday the company will operate the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the Chicago-Warsaw route beginning in January 2013.
   He noted LOT also began an all-cargo flight last month between Chicago and Katowice, Poland.
   “Chicago was selected for the all-cargo service because it’s the top destination where cargo is transported to and from Poland. Nearly 70 percent of air freight from Poland to Chicago is transported by LOT,” Pirog said. 
   The cargo flight is operated twice weekly with a B767-200 freighter under wet lease with Cargo Jet.
   From Chicago, LOT currently operates seven flights per week to Warsaw with B767-300 aircraft and will increase that to nine flights in June.
