On Friday (March 6, 2026), LOT Polish Airlines announced that their first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (SP-LSA) has been equipped with Viasat’s next-generation inflight Wi-Fi solution, Viasat Amara.  The carrier will gradually rollout Wi-Fi across their 787 fleet, and two more aircraft are scheduled to be equipped by the end of April 2026.  LOT offers two paid packages: Chat ($7), allowing instant messaging, and Streaming ($29), enabling passengers to browse websites, watch videos, and work online. Complimentary Internet access is available to LOT Business Class passengers and members of the Miles & More program from select airlines, depending on status.


In Friday’s announcement, LOT Polish Airlines’ Director – Product Development and Customer Experience, Izabela Leszczyńska, said,


“Internet access has become an expected part of the offering on long-haul flights.  Therefore, we view its implementation across our fleet as a natural stage in the development of our product, one that responds to the needs of passengers – both those traveling for business and for leisure. We wanted a solution that would ensure stability and high quality, which is why we chose a partner with well-established experience in aviation, whose technology is used by airlines around the world.  Our passengers travel with different purposes and expectations.  We want them to be able to spend their time on board exactly as they need – productively, staying in touch with loved ones, or in complete relaxation.”


Also commenting on LOT’s onboard Wi-Fi rollout, Viasat Aviation’s President, Don Buchman, said,


“We are proud to bring Viasat Amara to LOT Polish Airlines as they take this important step in elevating the long‑haul passenger experience.  Delivering fast, reliable in‑flight Wi‑Fi on the Dreamliner fleet is a meaningful milestone, and LOT’s commitment to offering high‑quality connectivity reflects a deep understanding of what today’s travelers expect.  With Viasat’s global satellite network and Viasat’s Amara connectivity solution, passengers can stay productive, entertained, and connected throughout their journey, from gate-to-gate—whether they’re working, streaming, or keeping in touch with family and friends. We look forward to continuing our partnership as LOT expands connectivity across its fleet.”
