The most surprising is that everyone thinks that the leasing is only to Canada but they have flown to NYC as well since February 2019, and it should not stop soon, LOT registered 2 A343 just to be sure that they can use both OOABD and OOABE (ABA & ABB, if they are used, are going to fly on other routes).

And an A321, LY-VEH.

But I agree with Atlantis comment, another interesting growth in Eastern Europe would be UIA.

Personally I'm so happy to see my national airline to be active like that.

About LOT finances, they came a bit closer to TAROM and Croatia Airlines as well...
