Air
Slovakia BWJ was established in 1993, when the group of independent
people, who had been working in aviation business, having
necessary skills and knowledge, but especially the enthusiasm
about enterprise and serve to passengers, joined together.
Under the name Air Slovakia BWJ the airline operated since
1995. Till that time the company's name was Air Terrex Slovakia
and after the separation with Czech subject Air Terrex it
operates as a pure Slovak company. The main aim was clear:
to fill the gap in Slovak aviation after the "departure"
of CSA, to enterprise in charter transportation and with its
assistance to create economic background also for the development
of reasonable regular flights. The first regular flight (Bratislava
- Tel Aviv) was opened in
January 1994. The performance in charter business has increased
from year to year. In 1993 were approximately 8 000 passengers
carried, a year later 25 000, in 1995 more than 70 000, in
1996 about 100 000 and in total up 400 000 travelers. Today
we have built the destinations in Greece, Spain, France, Bulgaria,
Tunis, Turkey and occasionally we realize also other requirements
of the travel agencies. Step by step, further regular flights
were opened. Namely, to Kuwait and to Larnaca. A mild decline
of results which the company noticed in last period was caused
by less tourism demand and by entry of other airlines (domestic
and also foreign) to Slovak market. But Air Slovakia has responded
to expected changes in time. The previous two planes of type
Boeing 727, we
replaced for qualitative better type Boeing 737 200. We in
Air Slovakia, put an effort to keep up with the trend of surrounding
countries, mainly in states of EU, where the operation regulations
are tighten. The development of aircraft technique has also
influence on improvement of services for passengers, what
after time is expected to have positive effect on the economics
of the company. In this respect, Air Slovakia within the quality
upgrade introduced world-wide reservation system AMADEUS in
1999. So we could state, that we, in Air Slovakia do not base
on momentary success, but we evaluate the development of aviation,
and define the right direction, which after the time will
show as a profit, or at least not lossy. Our credo is: to
belong among the best airlines in Slovakia in its category.
