Rossiya Airlines increases the number of its flights between Prague and St. Petersburg, Russia.

From 30 March 2020, the carrier will add four weekly flights, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, to the existing daily service. Rossiya Airlines will fly between the two destinations twice a day.

Airbus A320 for 128 passengers will be used to operate all flights on the route, including the new frequencies.

Based on Prague Airport’s estimates, the four added flights have the potential to attract up to twenty thousand passengers in both directions during the declared period of operation.

In addition to Rossiya Airlines, also Smartwings fly on the route between Prague and the second largest city of Russia.
