A regional future for CSA Czech Airlines?

摘要

Following CSA Czech Airlines' disastrous attempt at privatisation in 2009, key questions remain over the future of the Czech flag carrier. Can it remain a niche network carrier, or does its future lie as a regional feeder airline?rnPrague-based CSA operates to more than 60 destinations in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and has been profitable through the 2000s - albeit at relatively low levels (see charts, below).rnTheoretically CSA is ideally located to take advantage of long-term growth from central and eastern Europe to other markets, and Airbus's latest market forecast is bullish about growth rates for the central European region (which in its definition includes eastern Europe) over the 2009-2028 period, as shown opposite.
