Air Slovakia ceases operations

AIR SLOVAKIA, the Bratislava-based charter airline first established back in 1995, has ceased operating after having its Air Operator's Certificate withdrawn.  The airline operated a fleet of four B737s and a single B757.  Slovakia has had a poor run in recent times with SkyEurope, Seagle Air and now Air Slovakia all failing.  It is thought that the authorities had concerns regarding the carrier's financial well being.  Slovakia has been a member of the EU since 2004.  Bratislava, which is the capital, is only 40 miles along the Danube from Vienna. www.airslovakia.sk
