PGP Innowacje and LOT will soon introduce a new service using PostInAir self-service postal terminals – the first test terminal has been placed at the LOT headquarters. Thanks to automated devices located at Polish airports, passengers will be able to conveniently send air shipments to any destination in Poland, and soon also within the European Union. Ultimately, the airport terminals will appear at all airports in Poland and in 100 key locations in the largest Polish cities. The service will launch within the next few weeks.
Airport terminals and the ability to easily send air shipments are a significant convenience not only for those who just want to send a package or a letter. It is also a convenience for travelers who, for example, forgot to leave important documents at the office or did not hand over keys to their apartment to someone before leaving.
– We are introducing this type of additional service to make it easier for every LOT Cargo customer and LOT passenger to take broader advantage of the speed of air transport. The development of cargo transport in the segment of offers for individual customers, thanks to our aircraft, is becoming an extremely attractive proposition. Within a few hours, any shipment will travel from one end of Poland to the other. Thanks to our cooperation with PGP Innowacje, we have developed a system that is unique on a European scale and will soon be launched. We are proud that soon after the tests are completed, everyone will be able to see the advantages of PostInAir on board LOT aircraft – says Mariusz Kuczek, Director of the Cargo and Mail Office at PLL LOT.
The PostInAir service will ensure lightning-fast delivery times – from Krakow to Gdansk in as little as 4 hours – and the safety of shipments is guaranteed by the use of international IATA aviation standards. Furthermore, the entire system and postal terminals will be available to users 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, a special monitoring service will allow for the control of all procedures and tracking of the shipment’s route via the Internet.
– Thanks to our cooperation with PLL LOT, we will be able to offer the fastest way to transport shipments between PostInAir self-service terminals. This will be the most innovative solution available to airport customers in the world. A very interesting option that provides great convenience for passengers is the ability to deposit items confiscated by airport security – said Tomasz Żaba, President of PGP Innowacje.
