Czech Airlines and airberlin have entered into a
codeshare agreement.
airberlin will place its AB code on five routes
operated by Czech Airlines – specifically between Dusseldorf,
Frankfurt, Hamburg and Prague as well as from Prague to Ostrava
and Košice. airberlin will thus be able to offer its clients up to
two nonstop daily connections from Düsseldorf and Frankfurt to
Prague and a daily connection between Hamburg and Prague.
Stefan Pichler, Chief Executive Officer
airberlin, said, “We are pleased to welcome Czech airlines as our
22nd codeshare partner. The partnership enables us to expand our
European network. It will allow airberlin to offer more than 85
weekly direct flights between Germany and Prague and new
connections to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Especially the new
codeshare flights to and from Dusseldorf are strengthening our hub
at the river Rhine providing many attractive connecting flights
within Europe and on long-haul routes to the US and the
Caribbean.”
Czech Airlines will add to its schedule a daily
connection between Prague and Berlin operated by airberlin. The
carrier will also have its OK code on all flights to Keflavik in
Iceland, operated by airberlin from Berlin, Düsseldorf and
Hamburg.
Jozef
Sinčák, Chairman of the Czech Airlines Board of Directors,
said, “Our co-operation with the airberlin company will provide
German customers primarily with improved connectivity between
Germany and the Czech Republic and offer them a wider selection of
travel destinations in Central and Eastern Europe. It will also
help both carriers increase sales and strengthen their business
position in both Czech and German markets.”
