Jan 16, 2013 (newstodate): The future of the Czech carrier CSA may lie with a Gulf carrier.
Qatar Airways has reportedly confirmed its interest in taking a minority stake in the carrier that desperately needs fresh investments to bolster its financial situation.
CSA has long been seeking new owners, with the state opening a tender already in 2008, with no result, and later efforts to sell the carrier were also unsuccessful including talks with Korean Air, Aeroflot, KLM/Air France and other parties including Czech and foreign investment groups.
