The carrier said among the connections that would be reinstated would be those between the capital, Warsaw, and the northern city of Gdańsk; and between Warsaw and Kraków in the south, Szczecin in the north-west, and Wrocław in the west.

LOT had suspended scheduled flights until May 31.

Public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported that, after domestic flights, LOT is set to resume connections to European countries that are deemed safe.

Only then will intercontinental connections be restored, the news agency added.

Decisions on resuming flights will depend both on the level of coronavirus risk in Poland and in destination countries, according to IAR.

Poland suspended international scheduled flights as well as passenger rail connections on March 15.

A total of 18,885 people have tested positive for the COVID-19 disease in Poland, with 936 deaths from the coronavirus so far, officials said on Monday evening.
