Czech Connect Adds Prague – Geneva Service

Posted 27/04/2011

Czech Connect Airlines is to launch flights from Prague to Geneva, its first scheduled route into Western Europe.  The carrier, formerly a charter operator under the Central Connect Airlines brand, inaugurated scheduled flights in March this year with services from Brno to Moscow Domodedovo and St Petersburg and from Karlovy Vary to Ekaterinburg. 

The new Prague – Geneva route will be flown four times weekly by a Boeing 737-300 from June 2 and will compete directly with a weekly rotation from Swiss European Air Lines using an Avro RJ100. 

An estimated 59,000 O&D passengers travelled between the two cities in the past year, each paying an average fare of $174 each way.  This represents an 11.5 per cent decline on the previous 12 month period and also an 11 per cent decline in yields.

Schedule:

CQ320 PRG1640 – 1820GVA 733 x236
CQ321 GVA1935 – 2105PRG 733 x236
