In parallel with the launch, the TAT Prague Office is hosting a 30-member delegation comprising travel operators, media, and airline executives on a familiarization trip from October 8-11, 2026. This initiative supports Poland as a strongly growing source market, where arrivals reached 164,807 between January and September 2026, following 237,570 visitors in 2025.
The introduction of scheduled flights by LOT Polish Airlines, Poland's national carrier founded in 1928 and a Star Alliance member since 2003, highlights Thailand's appeal to long-haul European markets. By removing transit barriers and establishing a direct gateway, the partnership reinforces Bangkok's position as a premier regional aviation and tourism hub.
