History

A since retired LOT Charters Boeing 737-400 in 2010.

LOT Charters launched flight operations on 1 June 2009. The airline expected 400,000 annual passengers on its short and long haul flights (the latter ones being operated using the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft of mainline LOT), which would allow it to reach a 25 percent market share and establish a leading position among charter carriers operating on the Polish market.^{[citation needed]} Charter contracts have been signed with Neckermann, TUI, and Rainbow Tours amongst others.^[3]

LOT Charters was scheduled to close its operations in October 2013, as LOT removed all of its Boeing 737-400s used by LOT Charters out of its fleet. This is part of the fleet restructuring program to renew LOT's fleet with newer aircraft, replacing the twenty-year-old Boeing 737 and 767s.^[4] However, LOT Charters hasn't been closed and is currently offering charter operations using other aircraft of the mainline LOT fleet, including the Boeing 787-8.^[5]
