Czech Airlines to introduce new services for Summer schedule

 
The planned modifications of the summer flight schedule can also change in response to current customer demand.
 
Planned New Routes

The Central Asian region has a great potential where Czech Airlines has seen success of its Almaty route opened this year. Czech Airlines is negotiating about launching flights to two new destinations in the region.  The Airline would like to offer both flights twice weekly, employing Airbus A319 aircraft.
 
With the summer flight schedule, flights to Moscow will also see a boost, to four flights from the Czech Republic to Moscow.  Czech Airlines also wants to increase its service to St. Petersburg.  Its traditional night-time flights to Beirut will be supplemented in the high season with two daytime services. The new night-time flights to Hamburg and Stuttgart, introduced in the winter season, will be retained. Also, the summer service to Heraklion, introduced this year, will continue.  In addition, service to Almaty, Cairo, Minsk, Damascus, Skopje, Istanbul, Yerevan, and Tbilisi should be bolstered.
 
The flight to Manchester will be newly operated with more frequent times, with an evening departure from Prague and a morning return from Manchester.  This will be enabled by the capacity released following the temporary reduction of flights to Dublin.  Dublin Airport did not grant Czech Airlines airport slots with the requested morning departure time for the 2009 summer season. Service on the route would thus not be possible, due to the capacity constraints. Service reduced to the minimum will be maintained between Ireland and the Czech Republic, at a time suitable for Czech clients, i.e., departing from Prague on Friday and returning on Sunday.
 
The last flights presently offered on business days will be operated on 13-Jan-09 from Prague, and 14-Jan-09 from Dublin.
