26. 10. 2023Exactly 20 years ago, a Jet2.com aircraft landed for the first time at Václav Havel Airport Prague, arriving from Leeds Bradford Airport. Since then, the British carrier has transported over 2.5 million passengers on its flights to the Czech capital. Now its customers can choose from seven regular routes and a series of pre-Christmas flights from Jet2.com bases across the UK.“We appreciate the twenty years of close cooperation and the long-term growth of Jet2.com’s operation in Prague. This is also evidenced by the new direct route from East Midlands Airport, with the launch scheduled this winter, as well as the confirmed new route from Edinburgh, to be launched in the 2024 winter season. Jet2.com will thus provide direct connections from ten of its eleven UK bases either in the form of pre-Christmas flights or regular year-round operations. It is a pleasure and an honour for us to share joint successes with Jet2.com, such as the development of air connections, successful marketing campaigns, and satisfied passengers on Jet2.com flights to/from Prague,” Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Prague Airport Board of Directors, said.Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, is also content with this long-term cooperation. On the occasion he said: “This year marks 20 years since we started operating to Prague, when we had just one route on sale. Today, we operate an enormous programme with unrivalled frequency to Prague from the UK and have flown millions of customers to this magnificent destination. Such growth and success over the last two decades would not be possible without the fantastic partnerships we have in the Czech Republic, and I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to hoteliers, airports, tourist boards, and all our partners. As we continue to grow and take more customers to Prague on our award-winning flights and holidays, we will continue to put that partnership approach at the very heart of everything we do and bring even more happy holidaymakers to the destination.”Jet2.com currently operates regular services to Prague from its seven UK bases: Belfast, Birmingham, East Midlands (effective 10 November), Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, and Newcastle. In addition, special pre-Christmas flights from other airports are also operated. Inquiries by journalists shall primarily be forwarded to the joint e-mail address of komunikace@prg.aero.
