SkyExpress offer of regional flights bypasses Warsaw

"We are currently putting the final touches to our connections network," said Jan Szczepkowski, president of SkyExpress. "The first regular flights will begin in the middle of April," said Sebastian Stępak, spokesman of the new project. The airline will fly between six Polish cities, as well as offer flights to Kiev, Lwow, Vienna and Copenhagen, but its routes will not encompass Warsaw. The company will become a serious competitor for domestic flights offered by Eurolot for LOT. Ticket prices on the new carrier will oscillate around EUR 100, while on domestic routes these will be substantially lower. "90% of the flights will be regular flights, while the remainder charter flights," said Stępak. Initially the company will sell tickets via the Internet and a call center.
