The first passengers left Prague Regularly by direct flight at Vienna Airport – ČT24 – Czech Television
The private carrier Regiojet operates services without subsidies. For other trains, the company also provides transfers to regional lines from Vienna Central Station to the airport. From December, ie after a regular change of timetables, she would like to add another connection. Czech Railways also plans to run one pair of connections at Vienna Airport from the winter.
The Chepard Express, in cooperation with the city management, arrived in the last private carrier with the intention of sending direct trains from the South Moravian metropolis to Vienna Airport. It is the management of Brno that would like to enrich the offer of connections. Therefore, he is currently preparing a tender. Trains with city subsidies should run around the end of this year, in the number of five to six a day.
Brno Airport in decline
The direct train connection is operational after many years of efforts by Brno and the South Moravian Region to increase the number of scheduled airlines directly from Brno Airport. This is currently rather subdued for passenger transport. There is only one regular line there. He travels to London five times a week.
The airport is now negotiating the launch of another scheduled service, which could be launched next summer. However, he did not want to provide more information yet. Even before the covid-19 epidemic, regular flights also flew from Brno to Berlin and Milan.
In total, over 176,000 passengers used the airport in the last summer season, which is three compared to 2020. Even in 2021, however, it was only 44 percent of the record season in 2019. Transport was hit hard by anti-epidemic measures.
Recently, the airport has become more of a freight. “Transport for ordinary passengers remains a priority. In times of crisis, however, it is precisely the freight that can complement it a lot, “said Brno Airport spokesman Jakub Splavec. Last year, according to him, freight transport was a record – thanks to which it managed the crisis associated with the pandemic.
The interest in holiday flights is currently comparable to the ancestor year 2019. Planes from Brno Airport depart for two dozen destinations.
