CSA Czech Airlines (Prague Václav Havel) has continued its major network restructuring this fall and has announced plans to lay off one sixth of its 300 pilots. While introducing the following new routes, it has mainly made further cuts in an effort to cut its losses: Karlovy Vary-Samara: weekly A319-100 service has started on November 2 Prague-Baku: weekly A320-200 has resumed on December 18 Prague-Ufa: 2x weekly A319-100/A320-200 service starting on March 28 It has given up its routes from Bratislava to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels Ntl, Larnaca, Paris CDG and Rome Fiumicino as well as from Prague to Belgrade, Bologna Marconi, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Venice Marco Polo and Zurich on October 30. CSA has also temporarily cancelled its Prague-Tashkent route until March 24. In better news, CSA has not cancelled its Prague-Tel Aviv Ben Gurion route as previously announced and continues to operate a six times weekly A321-200 service on the route. It also wet-leases an ATR 72-200F freighter from Farnair Switzerland (FAT/Basle/Mulhouse) for twice weekly Prague-Zurich cargo flights. Air France (AF/Paris CDG) and CSA have again come to terms and have resumed their codeshare agreement for the Paris CDG-Prague route as of October 30. CSA will replace its remaining B737-500s by six new A319-100s until November 2012. It is also planning to transfer up to 11 Airbus aircraft to its subsidiary Holidays Czech Airlines (HCC/Prague). The Czech government is again planning to try and privatize CSA in 2012.
