The Hungarian airline Wizz Air has added one aircraft to its Katowice base twice in the last 12 months. Sixth one in June 2025, seventh in the autumn. It is adding the eighth plane for the summer of 2026. Thanks to the new aircraft, new routes are being created and some existing ones see their frequency increased.
The eighth plane will allow the opening of five new routes - to Dubrovnik, Ohrid, Rijeka, Rimini and Varna. The carrier will then serve thirty destinations from Katowice.
During the summer 2025 flight schedule, Wizz Air flew from Katowice to 25 destinations in fifteen countries.

Brno Airport handled a total of 739,323 passengers in 2025, which is less than 749,153 passengers a year earlier.
The only regular passenger year-round route to London (Stansted), operated by Ryanair, was used by 86,000 passengers, 12,000 fewer than in 2024. Ryanair then carried others on seasonal routes to Malaga and Bergamo, and Aeroitalia to Rome. A total of 143,744 passengers were handled on regular routes, which represents approximately 19 percent of all handled passengers. However, Aeroitalia's regular route to Rome, launched in spring 2025, will not appear on the offer in 2026, because the carrier has decided to terminate its operation. The route to Malaga will also fly in the summer and will become year-round.
The rest of the passengers traveled on charter flights.
Every weekday, Brno is served by two regular cargo flights for the international logistics and courier companies FedEx and DHL. In 2025, 12,797 tons of cargo were handled at Brno Airport (8 percent more than last...

The Spanish World2Fly operates charter flights with Czech tourists from Prague to Cuba once a week using an Airbus A330-300 regularly landing at the Holguin airport.
The Cuban government warned international airlines today that Cuba will find itself without jet fuel for all its international airports for a month from February 10. According to Havana, the reason is the "oil siege" by the United States. The information was published via NOTAM.
The fuel shortage affects all major Cuban airports, including Havana, Varadero, Santiago de Cuba and Holguin. Airlines have not yet publicly announced how they will deal with the situation, but in the past they have solved similar problems by making stopovers for refueling in the Dominican Republic or Mexico.
The measure could further worsen an already serious crisis for Cuban tourism, struggling with the consequences of the pandemic, US sanctions and long-term economic problems. Some countries have previously warned their citizens from travelin...

The Taiwanese STARLUX Airlines has chosen a direct route between Prague and Taipei as its first connection to Europe. The new route will be operated from August 1st this year, initially with a frequency of three times a week. From October, the number of frequencies will increase to a total of four flights per week. The carrier will use the Airbus A350-900 in a four-class configuration for the flights.
“We are pleased to welcome a new carrier, STARLUX Airlines, to our airport, for which Prague is also the first European destination to which it will fly regularly.

This winter, five planes from the Czech carrier Smartwings are based at the Indian airport in Ahmadabad. This airport made headlines this spring due to the fatal accident of Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The captain reportedly cut off the fuel supply to both engines of the plane shortly after takeoff, causing the aircraft to crash into the city.
The Czech planes fly from Ahmedabad for SpiceJet, another Indian carrier with which Smartwings has been cooperating for over a dozen years. Boeing 737-800s registered OK-TVM, OK-TVR, OK-TVS, OK-TVU and OK-TVV are based in India. All of them fly with SpiceJet stickers on the fuselage.
Smartwings and SpiceJet are long-standing partners. The cooperation between the two carriers began in 2013, when the Indian carrier leased four Boeing 737-800s to the Czech carrier for the summer season. One Indian aircraft then flew from Prague for Smartwings (then still Travel Service) during the following summer season.
Czech aircraft also went to India fo...

Smartwings established a new partnership with a carrier from the African country of Cameroon last year. Camair-Co is the largest carrier in the country and the planespotters.net website states that it operates a fleet of six aircraft. Last year, several routes of the Cameroonian carrier were operated by a Boeing 737-700 of the Czech Smartwings.
However, the smallest of the Boeing 737s in the Czech carrier's fleet has already been retired, so three Boeing 737-800s are flying in Cameroon this winter.
The Boeing 737-800 registered OK-TVG (production number 30719, manufactured 2007) was the first to fly to Africa in Camair-Co colors. It was active in Cameroon from October to mid-November 2025. Then it returned to Prague. Today, it flies on Smartwings routes in Czech colors again.
Another Boeing 737-800 registered OK-TVJ (serial number 29351, manufactured 2004) has been flying continuously in Cameroon since autumn 2025, also in Camair-Co colors.
In mid-November, the Boein...
