Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT S.A. (Polish pronunciation: [lɔt], flight), trading as LOT Polish Airlines, is the flag carrier of Poland. Based in Warsaw and established in 1929, it is one of the world's oldest airlines still in operation. With a fleet of 43 aircraft, LOT operates a network to 60 destinations in Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia. It is the only airline in the region to offer long-haul flights directly to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto and Beijing. Most of the destinations originate from its hub, Warsaw Chopin Airport. LOT is also a member of the Star Alliance.

As Poland made the transition to a market economy from 1989, LOT began its own transformation from a wholly state-run carrier to a commercial European flag carrier. During this time LOT also started a process of fleet renewal with the purchase of modern aircraft.

The company found itself undergoing constant management change in the late 2000s due to reductions in market share. At the end of 2012, LOT Polish Airlines became the first European airline that took delivery of one of the most modern aircraft in the world, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Like other traditional airlines, it offers two service classes on its flights: Economy and Business class. LOT has also won numerous awards including "Best Airline in Eastern Europe" in 2008, 2009 and 2010 according to the magazine Global Traveler and has been hailed as one of the safest airlines in the world.
