About us
LOT Aircraft Maintenance Services (LOTAMS) is a part of the Polish Aviation Group. The company deliver a full range of technical support at the level of base and line maintenance as well as aesthetics and workshop support. The mission of LOTAMS is to offer services of the highest quality by performing technical inspections in accordance with the best standards to ensure the reliability of flight operations and passenger safety.
LOTAMS operates as an independent entity since 2010, conducting almost 100-year-long tradition of functioning as the technical base of LOT Polish Airlines. These dozen or so years of independent operation are backed up by almost a century of experience passed down from generation to generation by aircraft mechanics and engineers. Simultaneously, our organization consistently strives for excellence, seeks the most cutting-edge solutions, and implements them to provide services of the highest level. As a result, not least because of the enormous commitment of the management team, the LOTAMS brand is consolidating itself as a global provider of top-quality services.
Our objective is not only to provide comprehensive machine service, but also to continuously enhance processes and technologies to adapt to the dynamic changes in the aviation industry. We aim to establish ourselves as a trustworthy partner who can be relied upon to provide comprehensive fleet care and guarantee the operational efficacy of our customers. That is why our motto is “We look after every detail”.
Global partner
Vietnam, Turkey, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, France, Iceland, or Singapore – these are just some countries from which airlines serviced by LOTAMS originate. Of course, the largest share in the services provided by our company are the planes of our national carrier, LOT Polish Airlines. Nonetheless, we are very proud of the fact that more and more new customers from outside the Polish Aviation Group appear in our hangars.
We are the only Central and Eastern European Embraer Authorised Service Centre and one of just two centres in the Europe.
Furthermore, LOTAMS is the only company in Poland that is a certified design organization, in accordance with the PART-21J certificate, which according to EASA standards can design and certify modifications and repairs of all types and models of aircraft with a maximum take-off mass over 5700 kg in terms of graphic design and interior furnishings for passenger cabins.
Currently, LOT AMS employs over 1,900 people.
LOTAMS employs over 1,900 specialists who are able to provide permanent, uninterrupted service on six to ten service lines simultaneously together with appropriate support for line maintenance and extensive workshop facilities (e.g. non-destructive testing, composites workshop, electrical systems and avionics).
Implementing to the needs of the aviation market, services are possible thanks to specialized internal training, which gives the possessed PART-147 certificate. In addition, LOTAMS employees also take part in training sessions organized by aircraft manufacturers, thanks to which our company is ready to service the most modern aircraft in the world.
The increasing number of customers and aircraft served, as well as market trends, require the hiring of highly qualified technical staff. This is substantiated by forecasts that anticipate the growth of air transportation, a surge in the production of passenger aircraft, and consequently, the requirement for specialized maintenance services.
Future Forecast
Airbus predicts that in the years 2022-2041, the total number of new jobs in the aviation industry will reach over 2 million, including 120,000 for aviation engineers and technicians in Europe. The development of air transport is inevitable and dynamic, which is why employees with the title of aircraft mechanic will be particularly useful.
With this in mind, LOTAMS carries out activities to improve the quality of teaching in technical aviation schools. We provide active support to educational institutions by providing patronage to fields related to our activities, thereby equipping graduates to excel in the labour market

LOTAMS Values
Professionalism
LOTAMS' market position and expansion goals reinforce our belief that everything we do requires the greatest degree of content-related knowledge, an understanding of the broader context and a constant pursuit of excellence.
Responsibility
Success, whether personal or professional, is impossible if one does not consider both the short- and long-term consequences of one's activities. Accepting responsibility and drawing conclusions from experience is more than simply a sign of maturity - it is also a key concept in the aviation industry.
Commitment
Every employee must understand that the success of LOTAMS is dependent on a team effort. Any negligence could have catastrophic consequences. As a result, personal dedication, accuracy and a persistent determination to produce the best possible results are critical to our work.
Innovativeness
The MRO industry is constantly developing and modernising. On the other hand, all of our actions must adhere to the aviation industry's strict regulations. In such a rapidly changing environment, we must make every effort to stay up with the latest technical achievements while complying with the provisions of law resulting from international and national regulations and good aviation practice.
Respect
The core value of LOTAMS is respect for people, their work and accomplishments. This value, while crucial in all aspects of our operations, is particularly important in internal relations. LOTAMS is a place where everyone, regardless of beliefs, religion, gender, orientation, or background, can be recognised for the quality of the work and level of qualification.
