Airline Tickets to Increase Under New EU Environmental Rules

In the coming months, airline ticket prices are set to rise across Europe. Due to new European Union regulations, airlines will soon be required to use more environmentally friendly fuel, a switch that will impact ticket prices and tour packages. From January 1, 2025, travelers flying out of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Switzerland can expect higher ticket prices. At community level, the European Union has established ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with the aim of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. An intermediate stage envisages a reduction of 55% by 2030. To contribute to these objectives, from 2025 all flights departing from EU airports will be obliged to use a minimum quota of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This requirement falls within theReFuelEU Aviation initiative, aimed at decarbonising the aviation sector. The fee, based on flight length and fare class, is expected to range from €3 to €15 per one-way ticket. Tourism Experts Question New Fuel Mandates The new regulations have stirred debate among industry professionals. Some argue that airlines should have more autonomy over fuel choices and pricing. “The market should remain open, allowing airlines to decide which fuel they use and how they...

Historic Last Flight: Czech Airlines Bids Farewell after a Century of Service

On Saturday, October 26, Czech Airlines (ČSA) will complete its final flight as an independent company, marking the end of a 101-year legacy. Flight OK767 from Paris to Prague will conclude an era in Czech aviation. Preceding this final arrival, ČSA will operate Flight OK766 from Prague to Paris, both routes already sold out, with remaining economy seats selling for over  CZK 12,000 one-way. The airline’s Airbus A320, is scheduled to leave Prague at 5:35 p.m. and return by 9:55 p.m.. This final flight represents more than just a journey; it’s a tribute to the airline’s impact on Czech travel and aviation. ČSA’s financial struggles in recent years have been challenging, primarily due to fierce competition from low-cost carriers and internal management issues. These setbacks ultimately led to its absorption by Smartwings. Following this transition, all former ČSA flights will operate under Smartwings’ QS code, effectively ending ČSA’s operational independence. However, the ČSA brand will live on. Smartwings has decided to preserve the ČSA livery on two existing Airbus A320s, as well as on four new Airbus A220s that it will lease. The first of these A220s is expected to start service in December, with the remaining planes to join...

Emirates to Resume Regular Flights Prague-Dubai

In a major step toward post-pandemic recovery, Emirates will once again deploy the iconic Airbus A380 for regular flights between Dubai and Prague. The first scheduled flight is set for December 1, marking the return of the world’s largest passenger aircraft to Prague’s Václav Havel Airport since the COVID-19 outbreak. The A380 will operate daily on the Dubai-Prague route, with flight EK139 arriving in Prague at 12:30 PM. The return leg, flight EK140, will depart at 2:45 PM. These times are based on the current schedule available in Emirates’ reservation system. Emirates first introduced the Airbus A380 on the Prague route back in 2016, and the aircraft quickly became a regular sight at Ruzyně. However, since the pandemic began, the superjumbo has only made limited appearances in Prague, primarily during emergency flights. Most recently, Lufthansa utilized the A380 for crew training purposes, bringing it to the Czech capital on several occasions. Would you like us to write about your business? Find out more

Confirmed: airBaltic’s Kunda and Püssi Aircraft to Fly to Prague in 2025

airBaltic has confirmed that two of its aircraft, named Kunda and Püssi, will be operating on the new direct Prague-Vilnius route starting on March 30, 2025. The announcement was made on Friday, September 6. However, these aircraft will not have a fixed schedule for Prague flights. Instead, their use will vary, depending on the carrier’s operational needs at any given time. “The plan remains unchanged. All airBaltic A220-300 aircraft will be deployed according to operational requirements and will be available on all routes across the airline’s network,” the airBaltic press office told Novinky. In August, airBaltic held an online vote allowing the public to choose names for all 48 of its aircraft, with voters selecting from a list of real Baltic cities. Due to the efforts of Czech internet users, the Estonian city of Kunda won the first place (in Czech, “Kunda” is a vulgar term for female genitalia). The Estonian city of Püssi, whose name can also provoke giggles in Czech, secured the second position. The first of these newly named aircraft are expected to take flight in early 2025.
