Aug 27, 2009 (newstodate): Reaping almost 71 mio euro in deficit from H1, the Czech carrier CSA is now cutting deeper into its cost structure to survive the current crisis.
Speeding up its ongoing 2009 Action Plan, the carrier will among other measures put three Boeing 737 aircraft up for immediate sale, and in spring 2010 two Airbus A310 aircraft will be returned after the completion of their operative leasing.
CSA will thus operate 44 aircraft in the coming period, compared a total of 50 ATR 42/72, Boeing 737 and Airbus A310/A319/A320/A321 aircraft in the current fleet.
CSA will focus even more on the growing market of sixth freedoms in Europe, and is planning a new approach to market segmentation and a corresponding product adaptation.
Through the harsh measures announced, CSA says it will return to profits from 2010 already.
