LOT Polish Airlines (Warsaw) is planning to introduce this updated livery with the introduction of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. LOT Polish is the European launch customer for the new type. Yesterday Boeing brought a 787 to Warsaw to salute the carrier’s support of the delayed project.

On September 7, 2005 LOT ordered seven (with two options and five purchase rights) Boeing 787-8s for its long haul operations, which were initially planned for delivery in 2008. On February 19, 2007 the airline converted one option to make a total of eight Boeing 787-8s on order. On March 7, 2011 Boeing officially notified LOT Polish that the delivery of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner had been delayed for another year. The first aircraft is now due to be delivered in April, 2012. Another four are expected to arrive between August and November of 2012.
