Considering that on Nov 20 LO will have 58 departures from WAW (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/32804608-post222.html), I wondered how many departures there were in 1980’s. I finally realized I have an old LO timetable, so this is the October 1986 situation:



Long haul:

JFK on IL-62

YMX on IL-62 (this was Mirabel airport located in the middle of nowhere and pretending to be in Montreal)


Short haul:

COMECON:

SOF / SXF (now pretending to be Berlin Brandenburg Airport with SXF rebranded as BER T5) / SVO / BUD / PRG
