Airline Settlement

Poland's LOT Airline and British Airways agreed to end a nearly four-month-old allocation feud that has grounded flights between Poland and Britain, Warsaw's Radio ZET reported.


The radio quoted Transport Minister Boguslaw Liberadzki on Sunday as saying service would resume by March 9 and each airline would be alloted nine flights a week between Warsaw and London.


The agreement allotted 51 percent of the seats on the London to Warsaw flights to BA and the remaining 49 to LOT, the radio said but gave no further details. No official confirmation was available.


The row erupted last October when Polish officials denied BA permission to double their weekly flights to London, saying this violated a Polish-British aviation agreement.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
