EuroLOT is an airline based in Warsaw, Poland. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of LOT Polish Airlines. It operates for its parent company as a domestic operator, as well as ad-hoc charter flights. Its main base is Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport.[1]

History

EuroLOT was established on 19 December 1996 and commenced regular air operations on 1 July 1997. Initially EuroLOT operated as an air carrier with its own network of connections. At that time EuroLOT’s fleet was made up of turboprop aircraft: 5 owned ATR 42-500 and 8 ATR 72-202 leased from LOT together with aircrew. Between 1998 and 2000 EuroLOT also operated two 18-seat BAe Jetstream 31 aircraft. The primary task of EuroLOT was to reconstruct the network of domestic and regional flights while reducing operational costs and to create new value in the field of domestic air transport. In 2000 the company ceased to be an independent carrier and became an operator. In the same year EuroLOT took over all ATR aircraft from LOT. In 2002 EuroLOT began to modernize its fleet by replacing ATR42-300 with newer ATR 42-500.[citation needed]. It has 278 employees (March 2007)[1].
