airBaltic replaces Czech Airlines on the route from Riga to Prague

• airBaltic returned to the Czech market adding Prague (PRG) to its Riga (RIX) network on 1 January. The route is served with 76-seat Dash 8-400 equipment offering thrice-weekly flights. Following Czech Airlines’ withdrawal from the route last week, airBaltic is now the solo carrier on the route. Czech Airlines’, which previously operated the route in monopoly conditions since September 2004, pulled all of its services to the Baltics and now offers them only as a code-share with airBaltic via Riga.
