Aircraft Fleet<br />
annual report 2010 | 22<br />
At the beginning of 2010, the Czech Airlines fleet consisted of 49 aircraft. In<br />
response to the change in the traffic network model, the fleet was proportionately<br />
modified and made more effective throughout the year; at the end of the year, it<br />
numbered 39 aircraft.<br />
One aircraft, an A319, joined the fleet in the spring of 2010, and two B737-400s were<br />
transferred to the subsidiary Company HOLIDAYS Czech Airlines in October. During<br />
the year, three aircraft were returned by Czech Airlines to their rental companies, and<br />
six were sold to external <strong>airlines</strong>.<br />
The fleet will be further developed in line with the Restructuring Plan, according to<br />
which the Company will switch to just one type of narrow-body Airbus. The fleet<br />
will also be modernized, with eight previously ordered new Airbuses replacing older<br />
machines. The financing of these aircraft has been planned so as to be as small<br />
a burden as possible on the Company.
