LOT Polish Airlines with another ban on flights to China. The restrictions are expected to apply until mid-May
Temporary ban flights to China for PLL LOT is related to the China’s announcement of defeating the coronavirus pandemic. The Chinese do not want to allow new infection epicenters to break out in their country and therefore have introduced a system in which they impose dissuasive penalties on carriers who carry passengers with COVID-19 infected.

LOT Polish Airlines has already been punished twice by China with bans in the past. The last of these was related to a flight to Tianjin on December 30, 2021, when five passengers were detected on board who tested positive for the presence of coronavirus after landing. The Polish carrier was then banned from operating two flights to Tianjin, as reported by the portal Rynek Lotniczy.
In connection with the reports by Tomasz Sajewicz about the new ban on flights to China by LOT Polish Airlines, the carrier’s press office sent a statement to the Aviation Market, which confirmed the date of the ban and stated that restrictions of a similar type are also imposed on other carriers.
– We would like to kindly inform you that all passengers, before flying to China, must be tested with both the antigen test and PCR in facilities approved by the Chinese embassy in Warsaw. The Chinese Embassy verifies every test and passenger that goes to China. Despite these precautions, the Chinese authorities have once again informed us about the positive results of tests for COVID-19 among passengers. This will result in the suspension of operations to China by LOT Polish Airlines until May 15. According to the information we have, similar problems apply to other carriers operating flights to China – we read in the statement of Polish Airlines Lot.
