History of the Bombardier Q400

On January 1, 2023, after 7 years of service with LOT Polish Airlines, the last scheduled flight of the Bombardier Q400 in LOT's livery took place. Thus, with the departure of the Dash, the propeller era, which lasted 94 years, came to an end.

The Bombardier Q400, also known as the Dash, is a Canadian-made turboprop aircraft. The first aircraft of this type landed in Warsaw in 2012, and 3 years later, after the liquidation of Eurolot, the planes joined LOT's fleet. Bombardiers flew both domestic and short-haul routes around Europe. On December 6, 2022, there was a farewell flight of the Q400 for all lovers of the aircraft, and on January 1, 2023, the "Dash" made its last scheduled flight from Gdansk to Warsaw. There were a total of 12 aircraft of this type in our fleet, and 78 passengers could board each of them.
