Jan Litwinski, chief executive of LOT Polish Airlines, has resigned in face of allegations that he and other board members took "extra salaries" from former Qualiflyer partner Swissair, say reports in the Polish media. Parent SAir Group owned a 25% stake in LOT before its collapse in 2001. Litwinski will be replaced by Marel Grabarek, of the Polish finance ministry, which owns 68% of the airline. LOT denies the accusations.
