It was the airline&rsquo;s last E170, and with it LOT closed a story it had started on the very same route more than 22 years earlier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On 17 March 2004, LOT flew the first E170 passenger service anywhere in the world, from Warsaw to Vienna. Over 22 years, LOT says, its ten E170s carried 13.8 million passengers on nearly 300,000 flights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f9;border:1px solid #e2e7ee;padding:18px 22px;margin:22px 0 26px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#0d1117\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px\"><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Embraer E170, twin-engine regional jet, 70 to 76 seats at LOT<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Last LOT E170:<\/strong> SP-LDH, retired 30 October 2026 after a final Warsaw&ndash;Vienna&ndash;Warsaw rotation<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>First service:<\/strong> 17 March 2004, Warsaw to Vienna, flown by SP-LDA: the world&rsquo;s first E170 passenger flight<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Fleet:<\/strong> 10 aircraft over 22 years<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Traffic:<\/strong> 13.8 million passengers, nearly 300,000 flights, over 230 million km, over 455,000 flight hours (LOT figures)<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Still at LOT:<\/strong> Embraer E175, E190, E195 and E195-E2<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Successor:<\/strong> 40 Airbus A220s ordered June 2025, deliveries from 2027<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The first airline to fly it<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>LOT was not the jet&rsquo;s original launch customer. When Embraer launched the E-Jet family at the 1999 Paris Air Show, the first orders for the E170 came from the French airline R&eacute;gional and the Swiss carrier Crossair. Crossair disappeared in the collapse of Swissair and its order was cancelled, while R&eacute;gional deferred, leaving LOT to put the new jet into service first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first LOT E170, SP-LDA, arrived in Warsaw on 8 March 2004 after a ferry flight from Embraer&rsquo;s factory at S&atilde;o Jos&eacute; dos Campos in Brazil, with stops in Recife, Espargos in Cape Verde and M&aacute;laga. Nine days later it flew the Warsaw to Vienna service that started the type&rsquo;s commercial career, weeks before Poland joined the European Union.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/lot-embraer-e170-sp-lda-first-e170-2004.jpg\" alt=\"LOT Polish Airlines Embraer E170 SP-LDA in the evening sun with landing gear down\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">SP-LDA, LOT&rsquo;s first Embraer E170, which flew the world&rsquo;s first E170 passenger service from Warsaw to Vienna on 17 March 2004.

It liked the first one enough that, within four years, it had ordered 12 more of the stretched E175. According to the airline, each LOT Embraer E170 seated between 70 and 76 passengers, cruised at 871 km\/h and had a range of 3,700 kilometres.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Firsts for the fleet<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>For LOT, the little Embraer brought several firsts. It was the first aircraft in the fleet with winglets and the first with fully electronic fly-by-wire flight controls. Passengers mostly noticed the cabin: two seats on each side of the aisle and no middle seat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over 22 years the fleet covered more than 230 million kilometres in over 455,000 flight hours, on domestic and European routes to cities such as Prague, Copenhagen and Budapest. A few aircraft became flying billboards. SP-LDC carried Leonardo da Vinci&rsquo;s &ldquo;Lady with an Ermine&rdquo; to promote the Ma&#322;opolska region in 2008, SP-LDF wore a Ptasie Mleczko confectionery livery, and SP-LDH itself once promoted the film <em>Planes: Fire &amp; Rescue<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/lot-embraer-e170-sp-ldc-lady-with-an-ermine-livery.jpg\" alt=\"LOT Polish Airlines Embraer E170 SP-LDC with Leonardo da Vinci&amp;rsquo;s Lady with an Ermine painted on the tail\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">SP-LDC in the &ldquo;Lady with an Ermine&rdquo; livery promoting the Ma&#322;opolska region, one of several special colour schemes worn by LOT&rsquo;s E170s.

For many LOT pilots and cabin crew, the E170 was the aircraft on which they built their careers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The airline had only recently said goodbye to its Boeing 737 Classics, and the E170 is the next step in a wider fleet change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LIQFJ8qLcK0\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 24px\">A passenger&rsquo;s trip report aboard a LOT Embraer E170 from Vienna to Warsaw, the route on which the type both started and ended its LOT career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What comes after the E170<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The retirement does not end Embraer&rsquo;s presence at LOT. The airline still flies the E175, E190 and E195, plus the newer E195-E2, which joined the fleet in 2024. But the long-term replacement is already ordered from Embraer&rsquo;s rival: on 16 June 2025, at the Paris Air Show, LOT signed a firm order for 40 Airbus A220s, 20 of the smaller A220-100 and 20 A220-300s, with deliveries from 2027.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>LOT has already begun withdrawing some of its E175s ahead of the A220&rsquo;s arrival. The airline that put the E-Jet family into service in 2004 is now, one aircraft at a time, flying it out again. SP-LDH was simply first in line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Sources: LOT Polish Airlines press office, aeroTELEGRAPH, Simple Flying, Aviaci&oacute;n al D&iacute;a, Wikipedia (Embraer E-Jet family; LOT Polish Airlines)<\/em><\/p>\r\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\r\n\r\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>When did LOT retire its last Embraer E170?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">LOT Polish Airlines retired its last Embraer E170, registration SP-LDH, on 30 October 2026.
