Today, exactly one year ago, CSA ceased all of their operations to smartwings, and it ceased to exist as an airline. CSA has served the skies for 101 years. Please take a one minute silence break, and remember how CSA looked like in the past. For me, as a plane spotter who is based in the Czech Republic for a long time, this airline means a ton for me, it is my favorite airline by miles.. I have flown on CSA at least 30 times. CSA could no longer survive since it got taken by smartwings since Covid… to make CSA remembered in the future, COMMENT #csaforever ! In this post, I have posted: OK-YBA, OK-IOO, OK-GFS, OK-HEU, OK-TST, OK-NFU, OK-MEL, OK-NFV, OK-REQ, OK-NEO, OK-EYB. ALL PHOTOS ARE MINE‼️ taken in Prague Airport - Letiště Praha by @pbspotter

Arriving into Prague Václav Havel airport is this @fly.ethiopian seen here working flight DHC1002 from Reykjavik city airport RKV on 14.6.2026 on its way to be delivered for Ethiopian airlines. This aircraft left to Kos on the next day. This is the first DHC6 for Ethiopian airlines. I was very lucky to catch this plane right after my flight from London Stansted!

Arriving into Prague Václav Havel airport is this lovely looking Piper PA-46-310P Malibu seen here working flight DEOXX from Graz on 2.7.2026. D-EOXX GRZ-PRG. This is one of the original versions of this aircraft type, so this was a pretty lucky sight for me. The Malibu is a great sight to see at Booker airfield, I certainly do need to check this place out in the future! by @pbspotter

Arriving into Prague is this @airzerog Airbus A310-304 seen here working flight F-HNOV from Prague Ruzyně on 30.3.2025. F-HNOV PRG-PRG. This aircraft visited Prague last year for space program shows, exhibitions at the airport and even did one special test flight. This made hundreds, if not thousands of people from all over Czech Republic, or even from other countries to take an eye of this iconic machine visiting Prague once during anybody’s lifetime taken in Prague Airport - Letiště Praha by @pbspotter
