The Office for the Protection of Competition approved the takeover of Czech Airlines and the affiliated carrier Smartwings by the Turkish airline group Pegasus. The decision concerns the merger of major airlines operating at Prague Airport. aktuality.sk ↗
The condition for approval is that Pegasus will cede part of the summer slots on the Prague–Antalya route to other carriers. The measure is meant to preserve competition on the route to Turkey, where the Pegasus group would gain a significantly stronger position after the transaction is completed. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Smartwings still belongs to Czech owners Jiří Šimáně and Roman Vik. By taking over Czech Airlines, Pegasus would also gain control of Smartwings, which together with the national carrier forms a connected airline group. The approval by the ÚOHS represents an important step toward completing the entire transaction. hnonline.sk ↗
According to available information, however, the deal has not yet been finally concluded. The acquisition is still being reviewed by European authorities. Once completed, the merger could affect the offer of flight connections from Prague, particularly on routes between Czechia and Turkey. The released slots are meant to allow other carriers to also fly on selected routes. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
