LOT Polish Airlines will begin direct flights between Gda?sk and Istanbul starting 14 January 2026, strengthening its presence at regional Polish airports. The new route will operate four times weekly — on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays — with convenient afternoon departures from Gda?sk (16:35) and late evening returns from Istanbul (22:10).
Key highlights
- Travel time: Approx. 2 hours and 50 minutes
- Strategic link: Connects northern Poland to Istanbul, a major global hub and gateway to Asia
- Partnership potential: The route builds on LOT’s strong cooperation with Turkish Airlines, offering passengers broader access to Turkish Airlines’ global network via Istanbul Airport
- Tourism & business boost: Istanbul’s popularity, cultural richness, and logistical importance are expected to make the route attractive for both leisure and business travellers
LOT COO Dorota Dmuchowska sees the route as a vital step in expanding regional connectivity, while Gda?sk Airport CEO Tomasz Kloskowski highlighted its significance in placing Gda?sk more firmly on the global travel and business map.
