They have a reputation for lack of aircraft, delays etc, so it's no surprise!
I've seen the odd advert in Bradford on the back of buses, but it doesn't exactly stand out next to the Jet2 adverts!

Just been told the Warsaw service is cancelled from the end of May and to expect confirmation of this news over the next few days. A real shame if this is true.
As LBIA pointed out, the service has already been removed from the centralwings website booking system from the end of May.

Anything connected with LOT is a disaster.
They could not organise a p*** up in a brewery.
They have strangled the industry and airports in Poland for years and provided a sub-standard service.
I could tell many horror stories.
Now the locos have given them a wake up call.

A strange one if true. Given it is only 4 weeks since the inaugral service, there can't really be anything in terms of passenger volumes or yields that they know now that they didn't know before the service launched. If the service wasn't selling well, why bother launching for 2 months? Everything I've heard suggests the loads have been very healthy, despite the hour. Strange also that Centralwings just begun an advertising campiagn in the area. I observed ads on 4 or so busses during a trip in Leeds yesterday that have clearly only just gone into circulation. That would leave some sort of unforseen operational issue that has only come to light since the flights started operating as the most likely explanation. I'm not sure what that might be. The flights, 2 days of operation aside, have been punctual and I note that the Warsaw - Shannon service operates overnight with similar timings to the Leeds service and is still on sale.

LOT were short of aircraft before they went into this adventure as Central Wings.A few days ago I saw 4 aircraft in full LOT livery with CW stickers.
So the mainline must have been at least 4 aircraft down.
Then big surprise,they have to use them for LOT flights.

Lets hope there is an eleventh hour reprieve. Otherwise at least we know that the route is sustainable with the load factors achieved by Centralwings. So like 682ft AMSL pointed out, if the airline has other reasons behind the cancellation of its service then there is still chance for another airline to take the service on at a later date, if necessary.

107 outbound on the Warsaw flight last night and 139+4 inbound, what a nightmare it was ..a passenger got off it totally ***** out of his head, fell over on the ramp then staggered all the way to immigration where he was met by special branch ...his hand luggage had 6 bottles of vodka and a playboy magazine. They just walk all over the place and dont care.
No servisair supervisors or anything know about it being cancelled, however i expect theres gonna be joy about that as nobody likes doing it as its a pain in the ***.
The aircraft was in full Centralwings livery last night also reg SP-LLF

As for some of the management (both handling agents) they just get in the way and try to look important- not really just look s***. well theres my little piece, few TOM flights on certain dates have been cancelled due to lack of bookings e.g PMI will not operate from the very start of the season- it'll kick in 2/3 weeks in may.

Given they've had reasonable loads I can only imagine it's lack of aircraft/crews thats causing problems. Maybe they could lease a Jet2 ac to do the route from the Leeds end until they can sort out their problems. Given the timings of the flight there should be a 733 or 752 available if they need it. Also if they did this they could even land when the RVRs are low!
