Vietnam is one of the most dynamically developing markets in Asia, and its importance for Polish business and tourism is steadily growing. It is a country of exceptional cultural and natural richness, captivating with its authenticity, exquisite cuisine, and diverse landscapes – from the vibrant city of Hanoi to the picturesque Ha Long Bay. The launch of the Hanoi route reflects our ambition to further strengthen LOT Polish Airlines’ presence in Asia and continue developing our Warsaw hub as a gateway between Central and Eastern Europe and some of the world’s most promising destinations.
Expanding Asian operations
With a lot of airlines continuing to focus westwards, it’s actually wonderful to see an airline that wants to expand its network east.
For LOT, Hanoi will become the fifth city in the airline’s Asian long-haul flight network, complementing the existing connections with Tokyo, Seoul, New Delhi, and Bangkok – each important destinations in their own right.
Whilst Warsaw – Hanoi is a thrice-weekly route, it should provide an indicator of the traffic flows that it could offer in the region, as the airline seeks to diversify and offer new destinations to its customer base.
