Smartwings (formerly Travel Service) is the largest Czech airline based at Prague PRG Airport.
The airline mainly operates flights for travel agencies from all over Europe, mainly from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary, but occasionally leases its aircraft to the whole world.
Smartwings also operates several scheduled routes.
The airline has approximately 40 Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737 MAX 8 or Boeing 737-700 aircraft in its fleet.
Since October 2024, the CSA Czech Airlines brand has also been integrated under Smartwings operations, operating Airbus A220 or Airbus A320 aircraft in its own livery. However, Smartwing and Czech Airlines are effectively one company.
