NEW AIRLINE - PRAGUSA ONE is a European startup, headquartered in Prague and Dubrovnik - with its main hub in Prague

From these destinations, PRAGUSA ONE will operate long-haul flights to destinations in the United States, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Africa, with key cities such as New York, Johannesburg, Singapore, and Tokyo. Although its headquarters are in Prague, the airline's ownership is in the United Kingdom.

When the airline begins operations, it will do so with two A350-900s and two A330-300s, which will be leased with crew. This will be the start of the airline's plans to increase its fleet, with plans for four permanent A350-900s by 2024.

What makes PRAGUSA.ONE unique is the fact that the airline plans to offer only Premium Economy seats. Thus, their A350-900s will have only 251 seats, in an aircraft with a capacity for more than 400 seats in Economy.

Did you know? The airline's name is not a combination of "Prague" and "USA" (which will be a key market for the airline), but a combination of "Prague" and "Ragusa," the historical name of Dubrovnik.
