SKYEUROPE is the latest arrival at Stansted. The fast expanding regional carrier, based at Bratislava, Slovakia, will introduce a three times per week Boeing 737-500 flight to its home base on Friday 11 July. A Bratislava ” Paris operation commences on Friday 22 August. SkyEurope, which only commenced operations in February 2002, has quickly established itself as a quality budget operation carrying over 100,000 passengers in its first year. It already flies from Bratislava to a series of, mainly east European, destinations, including Berlin and Milan. In May 2004 Slovakia and its neighbours the Czech Republic and Hungary join the EU, whilst Austria (Vienna is only 30 miles and a ”7 bus ride from Bratislava Airport) is already a member. Founder and CEO Christian Mandel seems pretty pleased with the business so far. http://www.skyeurope.com
