LOT Polish Airlines, Poland’s flag carrier, and Viasat , a global leader in satellite communications,  announced officially that 15 aircraft across LOT’s wide-body Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliner fleets will be equipped with Viasat’s trusted Ka-band, global in-flight connectivity solution.

LOT will offer inflight Wi-Fi for the first time as part of a major, ongoing upgrade to its Dreamliner fleets, which also includes a new internal cabin design, seat replacements and more, for a distinguished passenger experience.

Once in commercial operation, which is expected to begin no later than early CY 2026, these aircraft will be servicing LOT’s routes from Warsaw Chopin, giving passengers the experience of high-quality inflight connectivity while travelling LOT’s worldwide routes.

“At LOT Polish Airlines, we aim to deliver an exceptional passenger experience,” said Izabela Leszczyńska, Director of Product Development and Customer Experience at LOT Polish Airlines. “As part of our cabin upgrade, which will provide a new quality of travel, we have partnered with Viasat, a global leader in connectivity, to implement our in-flight connectivity services. Soon we will be able to offer our passengers the much-awaited convenience. The ability to enjoy Internet access while flying will top off the many changes that the retrofit of our Boeing B787 Dreamliner will bring.”

“As LOT embarks on this new era of connectivity for passengers, we are excited to be providing them and their passengers with the ability to message, surf and stream while in the air,” said Don Buchman, VP and GM, Commercial Aviation at Viasat. “At Viasat, we are aligned on LOT’s ambition to always strive to improve passenger experience. This is the start of a successful relationship that helps us to continue delivering on our mission to provide reliable, high quality in-flight Wi-Fi to passengers as they travel. As demand continues to accelerate across Europe, we look forward to bringing solutions to more passengers worldwide.”

Powered by Viasat’s global network, passengers flying on Viasat-equipped aircraft will benefit from video streaming, email, web browsing, and social media, among other offerings.
