Holidays Czech Airlines (HCC, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)) is set to deliver its A320-200, OK-HCB (c/n 2180), to fellow Czech operator, Travel Service Airlines (QS, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)), who will lease the aeroplane for the duration of Summer. OK-HCB, a former First Choice Airways (DP, Manchester Ringway International (MAN)) aircraft, was recently seen in Prague fully painted in Smartwings (QS, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)) livery. Smartwings is the brand used by Travel Service Airlines for its direct sales to consumers.

SmartLynx Airlines (6Y, Riga International (RIX)) has wet-leased one of its seven A320-200s (YL-BBC, c/n 142) to low-cost carrier nasair (Saudi Arabia) (XY, Riyadh King Khalid (RUH)). nasair already wet-leases five A320-200s from Air VIA (VL, Sofia International (SOF)), Bulgaria Air (FB, Sofia International (SOF)) and Holidays Czech Airlines (HCC, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)).

Korean Air (KE, Seoul Incheon International (ICN)) will acquire 44% in Czech national carrier CSA Czech Airlines (OK, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)) with a final contract expected to be signed on April 9 following approval of the transaction by the Czech government. Korean will pay approximately 2.64 million EUR for the stake in its Skyteam partner and will guarantee to retain CSA's employment levels and not to resell its stake for five years. It plans to use Prague as one of its key European gateways going forward. Korean is serving Prague four times weekly from Incheon with B747-400s while CSA will launch a twice weekly A330-300 service this summer on the route. In an unrelated agreement, the Czech government has agreed with CSA competitor Travel Service Airlines (QS, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)) to stop charter flights on behalf of tour operators by fully owned CSA subsidiary Holidays Czech Airlines (HCC, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)). Travel Service will in turn withdraw a lawsuit against the government and CSA regarding a government loan Travel Service considers as illegal state aid. Holidays Czech Airlines will instead wet-lease its aircraft to other carriers. It currently already operates three of its four A320-200 for nasair (Saudi Arabia) (XY, Riyadh King Khalid (RUH)) and CSA.

Bulgaria Air (FB, Sofia International (SOF)) will wet-lease two of its three A320-200s LZ-FBC (c/n 2540) and LZ-FBD (c/n 2596) to Saudi-Arabian low-cost carrier nasair (Saudi Arabia) (XY, Riyadh King Khalid (RUH)). Bulgarian charter carrier Air VIA (VL, Sofia International (SOF)) currently also already operates two A320-200s on behalf of nasair with a fifth A320-200 being wet-leased by the Saudi carrier from Holidays Czech Airlines (HCC, Prague Vaclav Havel Ruzyne (PRG)).
