The Czech Republic Closes its Borders for Foreigners

The Czech Republic will close its borders, including those with Slovakia, for all foreigners at midnight between Friday (January 29) and Saturday (January 30). Until now, trips to the Czech Republic have been ruled by travel traffic lights, both for Czech citizens and arrivals of foreigners. With this new decision, the travel traffic light ceases to apply. Only essential travels will be allowed. This means people working or studying in the Czech Republic, essential travels to family, medical facilities, nursing homes, wedding or funeral, the iDnes.cz website reported. ⚠️ The Czech Goverment decided to ❌ ban all NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVELS to the Czech Republic 🇨🇿, regardless of which country (green, orange or red) you are travelling from. The decision will enter into force at this midnight from Friday to Saturday (30/01/2021 0:00). — Czech MFA (@CzechMFA) January 29, 2021 The ban is part of a series of new restrictive measures that are tightening the country’s lockdown. They have been approved with a goal to further limit people’s contacts and movement. Earlier in January, the day-to-day increase in coronavirus cases in the country was gradually declining since hitting a record high of nearly 18,000 on Jan 6. But the numbers didn’t drop...

RyanAir to Cancel Ten Flights From Prague

“Our annual flight schedule is being revised, we are still working on it,” said the airline’s spokeswoman Olga Pavlonka. Flights to Bologna, Liverpool, Manchester, Eindhoven, Bournemouth, Barcelona, ​​Oman, Paphos, Corfu, and Rhodes have disappeared from the airline reservation system. Among the other 23 routes remained, for example, connections with Copenhagen, Denmark, Thessaloniki, Edinburgh, Scotland, or Bergamo. The global covid-19 pandemic, which has been going on for a year, brought aviation into crisis last year. As a result, airlines face challenges around the world due to significant travel restrictions. Last year, Vaclav Havel Airport carried 79 percent fewer passengers than in 2019. In June, the Czech group Smartwings announced layoffs that should affect up to six hundred CSA employees. German Eurowings has agreed with unions to guarantee job retention in exchange for a slight reduction in wages. Throughout the course of 2020, a total of 3,665,871 passengers passed through the gates of Václav Havel Airport Prague. The operation of the airport was unprecedented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the related restrictions on travel and the worldwide decline in demand for flying. As a result, 79% fewer passengers were handled in Prague compared to 2019. xosotin chelseathông tin chuyển nhượngcâu...

Prague Airport Handles Nearly 3.7 Million Passengers in 2020

Throughout the course of 2020, a total of 3,665,871 passengers passed through the gates of Václav Havel Airport Prague. The operation of the airport was unprecedented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the related restrictions on travel and the worldwide decline in demand for flying. As a result, 79% fewer passengers were handled in Prague compared to 2019. In January and February 2020, there were direct flights serviced from Prague to a total of 111 destinations around the world. In the following months, the offer was limited and continued changing based on the epidemiological situation. Passengers were offered flights to up to 87 destinations on an ongoing basis. Last year, the routes to the United Kingdom were, traditionally, the most popular, with the greatest number of passengers flying to/from London.  Václav Havel Airport Prague is ready for a gradual return of air carriers and passengers expected during this year. Currently, passengers can take direct flights to over twenty destinations from Prague.  The offer of additional direct connections will primarily depend on the development of the epidemiological situation, which will determine the possible relaxation of the rules for travel.

Authorities to Revive Tourism While Improving the Image of Prague City Center

The city of Prague has thrived on tourism to prosper; however, the impact made by the pandemic in the Czech tourism industry has been substantial. Czech Tourism, along with the Ministry for Regional Development and the Czech Foreign Ministry have launched a strategic plan to combat the negative economic consequences of Covid-19 on what once was a thriving sector. There was a 50% drop in revenues during 2020, and more than 80% in Prague. This has put around 200,000 jobs on the line, not just in the tourism industry, but in other professions as well, including bakeries, and cleaning agencies. The 2021 strategic plan of CzechTourism will try to attract tourists from all over Europe, namely from; Austria, France, Great Britain, Italy, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and Spain. This will be done with the help of a campaign by Czech Airlines, targeting France, the UK, Italy, and Spain. The third phase of their strategy aims to bring Americans, Asians, and Russian tourists to the Czech Republic. However, even if tourism remains essential for the city centre, government officials do express the desire to improve the attractiveness of the city to keep locals happy. Zdeněk Hřib, Mayor of Prague, said,...

Czechs Still Eager to Travel, Egypt Remains the Most Popular Destination

Airlines and travel agencies have been hard-hit by the economic consequences brought upon by the pandemic. Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reveals that the Czech Republic’s airline industry has been one of the most affected by the Covid-19 crisis and restrictions. There has been a 78% drop in passengers in the Czech Republic, according to their statistics, and this has caused a huge decline in profit and revenue of around USD 1.7 billion. Many airlines and travel agencies have suffered and reported large losses. For example, Czech Airlines, a member of the Smartwings Group, reported an estimated decline of 90% in the year 2020, compared to 2019. Kiwi.com announced that only half the number of people bought tickets to go abroad this year, again in comparison to 2019. Another travel agency, Invia.cz, a huge and domestic travel agency in the Czech Republic, reported a decline from a 6.6 billion revenue during 2019 to 1 billion in 2020. However, even with ongoing difficulties experienced by many of these companies, most are looking to make positive comebacks in the year 2021. Additionally, some reports have shown that Czechs still have an interest in going on holidays and traveling abroad....

Amid rising case numbers, Austria is closing its 42 border crossings with the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Smaller border crossings will be closed completely from Thursday, January 14, while fixed controls will be put in place at larger border crossings.

Ryanair Cuts More Flights, Only One Connection From Prague in January

Ryanair expects to lose 95% of its traffic in February and March, with few if any flights operating from the UK and Ireland, because of the latest Covid lockdowns and travel restrictions. Ryanair has announced another major traffic cut due to the current wave of pandemics. It will also significantly affect the Czech Republic: from next week and until the end of January, the Dublin-based airline will offer only one connection, from Prague to Barcelona twice a week. Routes to London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Malaga, and Milan Bergamo from Prague Airport will stop this week. “From January 21, we will significantly reduce our traffic from the UK and Ireland until “draconian” restrictions were removed,” the company said in a statement. Customers hit by the cancellations will be advised by email of entitlements to free moves or refunds, it said. Ryanair also cut its full-year traffic forecast from currently “below 35 million” to 26-30 million passengers. Ryanair, which has received stinging criticism from consumer groups for its handling of refunds during the crisis to date, called on the Irish and UK governments to accelerate, what it called, the “slow pace” of vaccine provision to help unlock COVID’s grip on the travel industry.

Czech Republic Will Register Those Who Got Vaccinated

As they started to roll out Covid-19 vaccines, governments world-wide are grappling with how to keep track of those who have been immunized. The Czech Ministry of Health will launch a unified register of residents who have received the vaccine. At the moment, hospitals keep records of vaccinated people, entering their data into their own databases. “The unified register will start working in the coming days. The proof of vaccination will be issued in printed and electronic forms, which will make it easier to travel abroad,” said Veronika Placha, a representative of the Faculty Hospital in Brno. Knowing who has a vaccine could enable economies to open up more quickly. Airlines are among the companies that could benefit from the data. Getting vaccination information directly from the government could allow them to more easily clear passengers for overseas travel. However, some governments have said they wouldn’t disclose the data to private companies and that people would need to decide for themselves whether to provide their vaccination status to businesses. Spain follows the opposite way Spain is to set up a registry of people who refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus and share it with other European Union nations, the health minister has...
