Czech Airlines is preliminarily planning to introduce new connections to Central Asia with its 2009 Summer flight schedule. The preliminary draft Summer flight schedule will be subject to numerous discussions both inside the company and externally.
The planned modifications of the Czech Airlines Summer flight schedule can also change in response to current customer demand. 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 popular winter holiday season, will be retained. Also, the successful 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.
Flights to Manchester will be newly operated in a more attractive time, 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.
Czechairlines.co.uk will, however, maintain a presence in the market. 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.
