LOT Polish Airlines plans to increase tourist arrivals to Penang starting November next year, via weekly chartered direct flights from Warsaw. State Executive Councillor Wong Hon Wai, who manages the tourism portfolio, revealed that the service will initially operate between November 5 and March, primarily catering to travelers from Poland and other European nations seeking warmer climates during winter.
Wong noted that the flights, which have already attracted over 100 passengers on some services and occasionally up to 300 European tourists, have been well-received. These seasonal charter flights typically bring in new visitors while returning those who have completed their stay, with tourists often staying for one week to up to three months.
According to Wong, the charter service aims to capitalize on Penang's growing appeal among European holidaymakers, while also bolstering Malaysia's key economic sectors, including manufacturing and services.
