Apr 08, 2019 (newstodate): The Polish carrier is mulling plans for launch of services on a new route between Budapest and Seoul, in South Korea.
While still not officially announced by the carrier, the news was flashed on a twitter account by South Korea's embassy in Hungary.
If realized, this would be the third long-haul route by LOT outside its Polish homeland after the opening of flights from Hungary's Budapest Airport to New York on May 4, 2018, offering four weekly year-around Boeing 787-8 services, followed by the opening of flights from Budapest to Chicago from May 5, 2018, with two weekly rotations on the route.
Budapest Airport lost its Transatlantic routes as the former Hungarian national carrier Malev folded its wings by the end of 2011 after 66 years of continuous operation under the pressure by the EU Commission to repay what was ruled illegal state subsidies.
