SmartLynx terminates Pristina contract
NEWS FLASH
Latvian charter carrier SmartLynx Airlines has terminated its contract with tour operator Prishtina Jet, which was to see it base an aircraft in Kosovo. In a statement, the airline said, “We would like to bring to the attention of the general public in Kosovo, and those planning to travel to and from this region, to the fact that SmartLynx Airlines is no longer a service provider for Prishtina Jet. The SmartLynx Airlines and Prishtina Jet agreement was signed on May 20, 2020. In total, fifteen flights were performed for what was planned to be a year-long contract. The agreement was terminated on December 11, 2020”. It added, “SmartLynx Airlines’ name and logo are still available on Pristina Jet’s webpage for advertising and selling flights that will not be provided by our company. To mitigate the risk of financial hardship to passengers by being wrongfully informed that these flights will take place, SmartLynx Airlines has decided to take a preventative measure and inform the general public”. The tour operator previously noted the carrier would base two A320s in Pristina and launch operations to Basel and Dusseldorf, in addition to Stuttgart and Munich. The new base would have resulted in 33 new jobs, which was to grow to sixty over time.
