The first journeys under the new cooperation are planned to begin at the start of the 2027 northern summer season. “This MoU marks an important step in strengthening the connection between Thailand and Poland. LOT’s new Warsaw–Bangkok service creates a strong platform for us to build on our existing relationship and take it a step further. Through the planned codeshare partnership, we see an opportunity to make travel between Europe and Asia more accessible, while giving passengers more options to discover destinations across both regions,” Kittiphong Sansomboon, THAI’s Chief Commercial Officer, commented. “The launch of direct scheduled services between Warsaw and Bangkok provides wide additional opportunities for those passengers who look for convenient access to the most beautiful cities in Thailand and beyond, across Asia, Australia and Oceania. Thai Airways is a natural partner for us in achieving this goal. Together, we can leverage the strengths of both networks while also encouraging passengers from Asia to discover Poland,” said Robert Ludera, Board Member, Chief Commercial Officer, LOT Polish Airlines.
Earlier this month, LOT launched its direct service on the Warsaw-Bangkok route. The planned partnership will build on the existing interline cooperation, under which passengers can already combine LOT and THAI flights as part of a single journey. LOT noted that because both airlines are members of Star Alliance, passengers can already enjoy the alliance benefits they are entitled to, including earning miles on eligible flights operated by both LOT Polish Airlines and Thai Airways. Star Alliance Gold members can also enjoy privileges such as lounge access, priority airport services, and additional baggage allowance.
