Czech Airlines is planning to re-launch its Yerevan-Prague service effective 13 December.

For the time being, the route will be operated strictly seasonally, for a limited period of time covering the traditional Christmas and New Year’s festivities, informed the press service of Czech Airlines. Prices of one-way Yerevan-Prague tickets start at 88,960 (approx. $184) Armenian Drams (AMD), while return tickets start at AMD 162,460 (approx. $336) including all taxes and fees.

Czech Airlines plans to operate two return frequencies a week on the Yerevan-Prague route, with departures from Yerevan on Mondays and Thursdays at 5:20 a.m., returning from Prague on Wednesdays and Sundays at 9:55 p.m., arriving at the Zvartnots International Airport at 4:30 a.m. on the next day. Czech Airlines will add a third weekly frequency on the route to Prague on selected days - on Saturdays 26 December 2015, 2 and 16 January 2016.

The Yerevan-Prague flights will be operated by Airbus A319 aircraft featuring both the Economy and Business Class cabin.

“For the time being, Czech Airlines’ Yerevan service will be operated from 13 December 2015 to 16 January 2016. In our attempt to renew the flights to Yerevan, we need to proceed carefully using a gradual approach as the Armenian market is extremely price sensitive and the transport demand is subject to strong seasonal imbalances,” Ján Tóth, Czech Airlines Director for Commerce, Alliances and Marketing, stated, adding: “As for further continuation of our flights, we have been analyzing several models of operation for the 2016 summer season, but no model has been selected yet. The summer operation needs to be considered very carefully and a positive decision can only be made if economically feasible for the entire time of the route’s service.”
