Slovakia to have first domestic airliner

Xinhua, April 8, 2017 Adjust font size:

New low-cost airline Blue Slovakia is close to obtaining its official permit to provide domestic air transport, the company's managing director Lubomir Kolarik announced on Friday.

"We've submitted our request to obtain an air operator's certificate (AOC) to the Slovak Transport Authority and now we have to wait for the request to be approved. We're planning to launch the first domestic flights within Slovakia in early May," Kolarik said.

The company has two small aircraft that can carry up to 19 passengers, and is planning to expand the fleet with aircraft that can seat up to 78 passengers. According to Kolarik, Blue Slovakia would like to interconnect the biggest Slovak airports in the country. Endit
