Czech Airlines is to add an Airbus A330 to its fleet in order to include its own long-haul flights in its flight schedule. The plane will be providing access to Seoul, South Korea, with increased code-sharing with Korean Air. Along with increasing access to East Asia for its own clients, Korean Air clients will enjoy better access to European destinations.
“We have been analysing Eastern markets since the beginning of our restructuring, looking for ways to develop in that direction. Developments confirm our belief that the future of the aviation business lies in connections to Asia. A year ago, Czech Airlines opened new service to Abu Dhabi, and agreed with Etihad Airways on the joint operation of long-haul service from Prague via Abu Dhabi to Southeast Asia and Africa, and in the other direction, to the Czech Airlines network,” said Czech Airlines’ President Philippe Moreels in reviewing the situation. “The success of this project has inspired us to expand existing code-share cooperation with our long-time partner Korean Air, and to create a similar model, in this case, linking destinations in East Asia and the Pacific to Prague and Europe.”
