Air China seeking Lot stake

Air China is the latest airline to express an interest in Lot Polish Airlines.


According to a report in local Polish media, the Chinese carrier and Lot's owner the Polish Treasury Department are to discuss a possible buy-in.


One possible sticking point could be the Treasury's insistence that it retains control of Lot, but it is understood Air China wants only a 49 per cent share.


Air China also plans to launch its own four-times-weekly Beijing-Warsaw flights later next month.
