History
The airline was established in 2005, was wholly owned by the Central Connect Group (via Job Air subsidiary) and had 110 employees as of December 2008.[2] The airline flew routes from Prague to Berlin, Stuttgart, Hanover, Ljubljana, Kraków and Zagreb on behalf of Czech Airlines.
In February 2012 the airline retired their last operational Saab 340F. At the end of March the above mentioned routes were taken over by Czech Airlines. Because of financial difficulties on the following 18 June Central Connect Airlines ceased operations but there were plans to reorganize the company.[3]
As of December 2013 the air carrier operated leasing and charter services[4] but did not resume the routes for Czech Airlines. In June 2014 it was announced that Central Connect Airlines would cease all remaining operations on the 30th.[1]
