Smartwings and TUI renew charter flight agreement for three more years
Smartwings will keep operating package-holiday flights for TUI customers from Central and Eastern Europe under a contract extended by three years. The Czech carrier is also adding winter routes from Prague.
Smartwings and TUI have extended their air transport agreement by three years. The charter partnership covers package-holiday flights departing from Central and Eastern Europe.
Under the renewed contract, Smartwings will fly TUI customers to dozens of leisure destinations across the Mediterranean, Turkey and Egypt. Summer flying centres on Mediterranean resorts. The winter programme includes Hurghada and Marsa Alam in Egypt.
TUI Eastern Europe CEO Marcin Dymnicki said the carrier's reliability and its range of direct connections matter to the tour operator's customers. Smartwings called the renewed agreement recognition of the quality of its services in a competitive charter market.
Separately, the Czech airline is expanding its scheduled network from Prague for winter 2026/27. Bergen, Venice and Lisbon will be added as new routes, and frequencies to Porto, Bilbao and Toulouse will rise. For the first time, the seasonal Prague–Nice service will run through the winter.
Smartwings is the Czech Republic's largest airline and a major Central European charter operator, serving around 80 destinations. The group operates 49 aircraft and also flies from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.
