An additional service to Singapore from Warsaw is planned to commence on 2 July 2018 (Monday) while the additional service from Singapore to Warsaw is on 4 July 2018 (Wednesday), marking four return flights per week between Warsaw and Singapore from that week onwards till 27 October 2018.

Rafal Milczarski, President of LOT Polish Airlines, commented, "Between Europe and Singapore, nearly 3 million passengers travel annually. This country is the gateway for further travel into Asia and even to Australia and Oceania. We are confident that the launch of the new LOT connection will provide an excellent opportunity for passengers from Central and Eastern Europe and not only to visit Singapore and to see the many advantages of this exotic and well-developed country, "

Milczarski added, "We keep the word, launching a new connection to Singapore - not only the mecca of many tourists, but also one of the most developed business centres in the world. We are confident that the non-stop flights will please passengers. Thanks to convenient distribution and modern Dreamliners the Warsaw - Singapore route is the most convenient route from Central Europe to Singapore."

The direct flights to Warsaw will open up convenient connections to other Central and Eastern European cities such as Berlin, Vienna and Prague, to passengers from Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Before 15 May 2018, there are no direct flights from Warsaw and other Central and Eastern European cities to Singapore.
