LOT to become strategic partner of Nordica

LOT has executed a strategic partnership agreement with the Estonian national carrier – Nordica, and is intending to take up 49% of shares in its subsidiary – Regional Jet, which operates a fleet of modern regional planes from the Bombardier CRJ family. Starting on the 19th of November, LOT will use its designator for all connections from Tallinn. One of the Embraer planes, owned by the company, will also be temporarily based in the capital of Estonia. At the same time, two Bombardier CRJ-900 planes will start performing direct flights from Warsaw for LOT. This is an innovative model of cooperation, which will enable LOT to strengthen its position in Central and Eastern Europe, and allow both carriers to develop further, while preserving their national identities.
