The year 2016 ended for Air Navigation Services with a record-breaking turnover of CZK 4 billion

The current situation in the air traffic between the Czech Republic and Russian Federation results from the failure of aviation authorities of both countries to reach an agreement. In this connection, the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation limited unilaterally the right of flying over the Siberian part of the Russian territory for České aerolinie, a.s. on their flights from/to Prague and Soul, which had been used by the Czech carrier for long. The Czech side considers this step to be a breach of the existing arrangements, so it has limited the rights of Russian air carriers pursuant to the Air Transport Agreement (1966).

Prague is gradually becoming an air hub for the link between China and Central and Eastern Europe. This was confirmed during the talks between Transport Minister Dan Ťok and the President of the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority, Feng Cheng-lin. The meeting was also attended by Czech President Milos Zeman, who is currently visiting China.
