EX-YU Aviation News can exclusively reveal Czech Airlines' preliminary schedule to the former Yugoslavia, before the carrier puts its new flights from Prague to Zagreb, Skopje and Sarajevo on sale.
Czech Airlines' flights to Zagreb are scheduled to commence on April 27. They will initially operate twice per week, each Wednesday and Sunday with an ATR72 turboprop, before a third weekly flight is introduced on Fridays from May 13 with an ATR42. Staring June 21, another flight will be introduced for a total of four weekly services. According to its preliminary schedule, flights will depart Prague in the evening and return to the Czech capital in the morning the next day. More details can be found here.
To Skopje, ČSA plans to operate three weekly flights on a seasonal basis launching May 19. Services will first run twice per week, each Monday and Thursday, before a Tuesday flight is introduced on June 14. All will operate with an Airbus A319, with the last service scheduled from Skopje to Prague on October 14. Additional information can be found here.
Finally, the Czech national carrier will maintain four weekly flights to Sarajevo starting May 19. At first, services will operate three times per week with a mix of ATR42/72 aircraft, while the fourth weekly flight (ATR42) will be introduced on June 14. According to the current schedule, flights will depart for Sarajevo in the evening and start its return journey at 03.20 in the morning. However, it should be noted that this preliminary schedule is likely to change as Sarajevo Airport is open from 06.00 - 22.00, with check-in opening at 05.00. Further details can be found here.
Please not that all of the schedules are preliminary and changes are possible. The airline will publish its official timetable later this month.
Does this mean CSA will maintain year-round flights to SJJ and not only seasonal?
ReplyDeleteAt this point flights are planned to run up until the end of the summer season. Once again, this is their preliminary summer schedule. Changes are possible.
DeleteSo the opening day for ZAG is March,27th or April,27th. Admin, it is up to you to decide.
ReplyDeleteApril 27.
DeleteAtr may soon become the symbol of Zagreb airport, it's most faithful visitor.
ReplyDeleteehmmm... you are aware that only 2 scheduled carriers will then use an ATR for their ZAG flights?
DeleteZašto odlaze iz Zagreba u 5:30 ujutro? Što ne stave barem u 8, pa da pokupi putnike iz Splita, Dubrovnika, Prištine :/
ReplyDeleteI also don't get the preliminary flight times. They are hostile to every leisure traveller and also quite inadequate to buisiness pax. SJJ times will surely change.
ReplyDeleteWhen CSA used to fly to SKP they had similar times. All flights are scheduled to connect onto their flights from Prague. They said they were going after transfer passengers on these flights.
