LOT seek Boeing compensation

Poland's state-owned airline, LOT, was holding talks with Boeing on Friday over the grounding of the 787, with voices in Polish politics calling increasingly for Boeing to pay compensation for the 787 problems. The polish government has stated that LOT is losing $50,000 a day as a result of the grounding of its two 787s. This is significant because LOT is not in the best of health at this time with large debts making the 787 grounding a political problem. Deputy Treasury Minister Rafal Baniak said he was looking forward to "a positive outcome from LOT's dialogue with Boeing, chiefly concerning the return of 787 planes to flight operations." No confirmations about compensation have been made to date.
