SkyEurope Airlines expands in Poland and confirms its low fare leadership in Central Europe
31.03.2004


Warsaw, 31 March 2004
SkyEurope Airlines, Central Europe’s leading low fare airline, announced today major expansion in the region by launching operations from Poland. “Poland is the largest country to join the EU, but as yet is under served by low fare airlines," said Alain Skowronek, SkyEurope Airlines‘ Chairman.
Alain Skowronek, a Belgian citizen with Polish ancestors, is one of the most experienced managers in the low cost airline industry. He managed two successful Belgian low cost carriers before teaming up with Christian Mandl to create SkyEurope Airlines.
“SkyEurope is the Central European answer to the global low cost airline phenomenon,” said Christian Mandl, SkyEurope Airlines’ CEO. Having already had three years experience in Central Europe, SkyEurope has developed a leadership position in low fare air transportation. SkyEurope operates a fleet of 13 aircraft to 18 destinations in 12 countries, from 2 bases in Vienna-Bratislava and Budapest. SkyEurope has already operated more than 12 000 flights to and from Central Europe and will transport more than 1 million passengers in 2004. Among major achievements, SkyEurope became the first low cost airline to carry His Holiness Pope John Paul II.
„SkyEurope enters the Polish market through its first base in Warsaw but we are negotiating with more airports for additional bases,“ added Christian Mandl. SkyEurope Airlines will start to operate direct low fare flights from Warsaw to Vienna-Bratislava and Budapest on 2 May 2004. From 14 June 2004, SkyEurope will add new daily flights from Warsaw to London, Paris and Amsterdam. On 8 October 2004, SkyEurope will extend its route network from Warsaw by adding further new destinations – Rome, Milan and Zurich. One-way fares start at £17 and are released for sale today online at www.skyeurope.com or at 020 7365 0365.
“SkyEurope’s fares starting at £17 are competitive with bus and train fares. They will enable more people to travel by air from and to Poland,” announced Alain Skowronek. “Our aim this year is to carry 200 000 Polish travellers,” added Christian Mandl.
SkyEurope Airlines will base several aircraft in Poland and intends to invest USD 20 million to develop its Polish operation. SkyEurope Airlines’ shareholders include funds of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and of the Dutch bank ABN-Amro. “We are glad that these renowned financial institutions are supporting our ambitious growth plans,” concluded Christian Mandl.
