As part of her official visit to Poland, the Minister for Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation, Veronique Laporte, met with Michał Fijoł, chief executive of LOT Polish Airlines, and senior representatives of the airline to discuss opportunities for strengthening air connectivity between Poland and Seychelles.

Also present were David Bianchi, principal secretary for the Department of Ports and Civil Aviation, and Dr Wiesław Judycki, Seychelles’ honorary consul in Poland.

Discussions focused on the growing number of visitors from Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries, the potential for Warsaw to serve as a gateway to Seychelles, and the possibility of introducing charter flights as a first step toward future scheduled services.

The meeting also explored opportunities in tourism, cargo development, and business travel. The Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation will work closely with the Ministry of Tourism and Culture in Seychelles to support LOT’s market assessment.
