Czech Airlines to discontinue its service to Cork
Prague, 28 August 2006
Czech Airlines (ČSA) has decided to discontinue its regular service between Prague and Cork, Ireland. The Czech national carrier will fly its last scheduled flight from Prague to Cork on 7 January 2007, with the return flight from Cork to Prague on 8 January 2007. As of that date, ČSA will no longer operate this flight and will use the free capacity primarily to enhance service to eastern destinations.
“Our goal is to respond flexibly to changes in the aviation market. That is why we very carefully evaluate the effectiveness of each route. From this point of view, the Cork route did not meet our expectations, and Czech Airlines’ management decided, rather, to use the airplanes in places in which it sees potential,” said Zdeněk Brettschneider, Executive Director, Sales Suppport.
The Prague – Cork – Prague route, introduced by ČSA in April 2003, has been flown six times a week, by Boeing B737-500 medium-haul planes.
