LOT Polish Airlines closed 2025 with its strongest financial performance in over a decade, carrying a record 11.7 million passengers, an increase of 9.4 percent over 2024, while posting revenue of PLN 10.2 billion, operating profit (EBIT) of PLN 422 million, and net profit of PLN 350 million.
The results reflect an operating margin of over 4 percent and revenue growth of 2.9 percent year-on-year, achieved during a period of rapid network expansion and preparation for the airline’s largest fleet investment programme to date.
“We carried a record number of passengers, expanded our flight network, and launched the largest fleet modernization program in LOT Polish Airlines history, while generating a net profit of PLN 350 million,” said Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines.
The year’s most significant development was a contract signed with Airbus at the Paris Air Show for 40 A220 aircraft, with options and purchase rights for up to 44 more, bringing the airline’s potential total to 84 aircraft of the type. The first A220s are expected to join the fleet in 2027, eventually replacing the airline’s regional fleet entirely. LOT also took delivery of the first of 13 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in December 2025, with further deliveries continuing into 2026.
LOT launched nine new routes in 2025, including Warsaw to Lisbon, Thessaloniki, Reykjavik, Marrakech, Stavanger, Rovaniemi, and Malta, alongside new connections from Krakow and Radom. A further 15 routes were announced for 2026, bringing total new or announced connections to over 20.
The airline also earned four stars in the Skytrax rankings and was named Best Airline in Eastern Europe at the 2025 World Airline Awards, alongside achieving IATA Environmental Assessment certification and its fourth IATA CEIV certificate, covering live animal transport.
