LOT Polish at this point has exclusively Boeing and Embraer aircraft...

Shorhaul is served almost entirely by 737 max / Embraer E and long haul is 787 Dreamliners.

The airline has had only 2 serious fatal accidents in the modern era and it was on the same soviet aircraft in the 1980s... one had a mechanical malfunction that the soviets tried to hide and the other was a poor original design.

Since the time, the safety record has been perfect.
