Centralwings announces that it will start flying from more regional airports

"Outside of Warsaw, LOT's presence is weaker and therefore this is a safe solution for us," said Centralwings president, Piotr Kociołek. He went on to reveal that in 2005 Centralwings served 378,000 charter passengers, while this year the figure is to grow to 469,000. One of the ways the company plans to achieve this is to increase the number of tickets sold through cooperating tour operators. The carrier is also considering introducing a loyalty program for its passengers, a move which is rather rare among budget airlines. Meanwhile, in the next few days, the Centralwings fleet is to grow by an additional plane to reach six. Company representatives maintain that their plan is to increase this number to ten during the summer season. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.K.
