Smartwings

Smartwings, a.s. (formerly Travel Service, a.s.) is a Czech airline with its head office on the property of Václav Havel Airport Prague. It is the biggest airline in the Czech Republic, and it operates scheduled and chartered flights, mainly to leisure destinations. The airline also provides aircraft on wet and dry leases to other airlines, and operates charter flights through several subsidiaries: Smartwings Poland, Smartwings Hungary and Smartwings Slovakia. Although Smartwings previously acquired Czech Airlines in 2017, following the latter's bankruptcy and a major corporate restructuring in October 2024, Czech Airlines was transformed into a holding company, and Smartwings became its wholly owned operating subsidiary. In December 2025, it was announced that Pegasus Airlines had reached an agreement to acquire the holding company.
