In full-page advertisements, Smartwings questions why the government does not provide loan guarantees.
According to current information, the Czech aviation group Smartwings and its subsidiary CSA will not receive any state aid. Now the company is going on the offensive and is questioning government behavior in various full-page advertisements that have appeared in local newspapers. In particular, the Condor state loan in Germany is targeted.
Smartwings asks the question why governments of other EU countries sometimes issue billions in guarantees for airline loans, but not the Czech Republic. The carrier itself rejects both state involvement and full nationalization, which was brought into play as a condition on the part of the government.
