LOT Polish Airlines announced on 6 February 2026 that it will raise frequencies on its Warsaw-Chopin ⇄ Zielona Góra-Babimost route from seven to eleven weekly rotations starting 15 March. The upgrade means twice-daily flights Monday through Friday and a Sunday evening service, with no Saturday flight, all operated by 78-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprops. (twocontinents.com)
The route—subsidised by the Lubuskie provincial government—connects western Poland’s burgeoning battery-technology and logistics clusters with LOT’s long-haul hub in Warsaw, offering same-day onward connections to North America and Asia. Regional authorities say passenger numbers grew 34 % year-on-year in 2025 after several foreign investors, including a Korean EV-components firm, set up plants near Zielona Góra.
International visitors flying into Warsaw for same-day connections to Zielona Góra should also ensure their travel documents are in order. VisaHQ’s online platform (https://www.visahq.com/poland/) can expedite Polish and Schengen visa applications for corporate travellers, consultants and technicians, letting project planners focus on itineraries rather than paperwork.

For mobility managers the extra frequencies translate into greater schedule flexibility for project teams shuttling between head offices in Warsaw and production lines in Lubuskie. The fare remains competitive: an advance-purchase return ticket costs roughly PLN 250 (€ 58) and dips to PLN 150 during promotions—often cheaper than a six-hour round-trip by car.
From a policy perspective the move underscores how public co-financing is being leveraged to improve domestic air connectivity until the Central Transport Hub opens in 2032. Employers should watch for possible similar public-service obligation (PSO) tenders on under-served routes such as Warsaw–Rzeszów and Kraków–Bydgoszcz, which the government is reviewing.
The schedule expansion coincides with persistent rail-upgrade works on the E20 corridor, which have lengthened Warsaw-to-Poznań journeys and diverted some business traffic back to the air. If demand holds, LOT hinted that it could up-gauge selected peak-hour rotations to Embraer E175 jets.
