Leadership Insights
- Izabela Leszczyńska (LOT): Wi-Fi is now an expected part of long-haul travel; LOT wants passengers to spend time onboard “exactly as they need – productively, staying in touch, or relaxing.”
- Don Buchman (Viasat Aviation): LOT’s adoption of Amara is a “meaningful milestone” in elevating passenger experience, ensuring gate-to-gate connectivity.

LOT is positioning itself alongside other global carriers that view in-flight Wi-Fi as a core service standard, not just a premium add-on.
