In the first two weeks of July the airline will primarily offer connections to Schengen Area countries, and also to popular holiday destinations, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

The Schengen area includes 22 EU countries. Before the pandemic struck they comprised a zone that allowed control-free travel.

Poland suspended international scheduled flights on March 15. It allowed connections to resume to most European Union countries on Wednesday.

Deputy Infrastructure Minister Marcin Horała said last month that Poland would bring back passenger flights in three phases: first on domestic routes; then on routes to European destinations; and finally intercontinental connections, but only to regions where the COVID-19 pandemic is under control.

On June 1, Poland reopened its skies for domestic flights and LOT reinstated connections between eight cities.
