Eurolot
Eurolot was a Polish regional scheduled airline linking domestic cities with short-haul European destinations using turboprop aircraft.
About Eurolot
Eurolot was established in 1996 and began operations in 1997 as a Polish regional airline closely associated with LOT Polish Airlines. It initially operated feeder services under LOT flight numbers before developing a larger network under its own K2 code. Ownership was divided between the Polish state and LOT during its later years. The carrier ceased operating in 2015, so its network and passenger policies are now historical rather than bookable.
Krakow was Eurolot's busiest departure point, followed by Gdansk, Amsterdam, Lviv and Warsaw. Its network covered 14 destinations across nine countries through 30 routes, combining Polish domestic services with short-haul international links. Notable cities included Wroclaw, Szczecin, Aarhus, Bremen, Florence, Hamburg and Poprad. This regional pattern supported both point-to-point travel and connections with LOT services.
Eurolot's recorded fleet comprised Aerospatiale/Alenia ATR 42-500 and ATR 72 aircraft, alongside the larger De Havilland Canada DHC-8-400 Dash 8/8Q. These turboprops were suited to relatively short sectors and airports where regional capacity was more practical than mainline jets. Cabins were primarily arranged for short-haul travel, with the precise service level, fare conditions and onboard offering depending on the route and whether a flight was marketed in cooperation with LOT.
Eurolot was not an independent member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. Its close commercial relationship with LOT, a Star Alliance member, nevertheless connected many flights to LOT's broader network. Eurolot did not maintain a clearly separate frequent-flyer programme of its own; eligibility for Miles & More benefits depended on the flight's marketing carrier, booking class and applicable programme rules.
A genuine strength of Eurolot was its ability to connect regional Polish cities with domestic and nearby European markets using appropriately sized aircraft. Turboprops were efficient for these sectors, although they generally offered less cabin space and more noticeable propeller noise than larger jets. The airline's closure is the principal limitation for travellers researching it today: Eurolot flights can no longer be booked, and current journeys on former routes must be arranged with other carriers.
Good to know
Flying with Eurolot — what to expect
Operations Have Ended
Eurolot ceased flying in 2015. Any current listing using its name or K2 code should be checked carefully because the former airline no longer sells tickets.
Regional Turboprop Fleet
Flights were operated with ATR 42, ATR 72 and Dash 8 Q400 turboprops. These aircraft were practical for short routes but offered tighter cabins and less overhead-bin space than typical mainline jets.
LOT Connections
Eurolot historically worked closely with LOT Polish Airlines and operated feeder services. Baggage handling, through-ticketing and loyalty credit depended on the marketing carrier and individual ticket conditions.
Check Baggage Terms
Allowances varied by fare and operating arrangement, while regional-aircraft cabin storage was limited. Larger carry-on bags could therefore be placed in the hold at the gate.
Short Regional Routes
The network focused on domestic Polish and short-haul European travel. Krakow and Gdansk were particularly important departure points, with Warsaw also serving as a connecting airport.
