Polish flag carrier LOT will choose between its current
supplier Embraer EMBR3.SA or rival Airbus AIR.PA for the delivery of 84 new
aircraft it plans to buy to service its regional routes, the State Assets
Ministry said on Saturday.
LOT will send a request for proposals to the two companies
in the near future, the ministry said in a statement on its website, adding it
is looking to purchase up to 110 aircraft by 2028.
"(LOT) is faced with making a strategic decision
whether to continue cooperation with the current supplier (Embraer) in the
regional segment or to switch to a competitor's platform (Airbus)," it
said.
"In the near future, the company intends to send a
request for proposals for the acquisition of 84 regional aircraft to two
manufacturers who offer aircraft that meet the requirements. That is Embraer
and Airbus."
LOT currently has a fleet of 75 planes, over half of which
is made up of Embraer aircraft with the remainder being Boeing BA.N B737s and
B787s.
