SkyEurope considers moving its planes from Bratislava to Prague

The Slovak low-cost airline SkyEurope is considering transferring its aircraft from Bratislava to Prague, it has been announced. The firm is unhappy with Bratislava Airport’s proposed increase in handling fees. The airport, where four of SkyEurope’s aircraft are based, is awaiting approval to raise handling costs by 40%. SkyEurope has said in a statement that it is not planning to pull out of the Slovak capital altogether, but is looking to continue its growth elsewhere. Prague and Vienna are both possible candidates. The airline has 14 planes in total. Six are currently stationed in Vienna, while Prague and Bratislava have four apiece.
