From the end of May, Czech Airlines will connect Prague with the tourist centre of Heraklion, on the Greek island of Crete, with a twice weekly service. The departure times have been selected primarily to suit the tourist clientele.
Czech Airlines will commence operating the new route on 30-May-08, deploying its Airbus A320 aircraft, configured with 162 seats. Czech Airlines’ Vice President for Marketing and Product Development, Petr Pištìlák, said “Czech Airlines expects the Heraklion route to be used primarily by tourists, and not only from the Czech Republic, but also tourists from Scandinavia and Germany, using connecting flights and a transfer in Prague.”
In addition to the new route from Prague to Heraklion, Czech Airlines also operates to Athens and Thessalonica in Greece. Czech Airlines has not previously offered regular flights to Heraklion, but it has carried tourists to this Cretan airport on charter flights for many years.
