Headquarters

Prague, Czech Republic

Travel Service was a Czech airline founded in 1997, operating as one of the largest charter and leisure carriers in Central Europe. The airline primarily served holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, Egypt, Turkey, and the Canary Islands, catering to Czech and Slovak package tour travelers. Travel Service became closely associated with SmartWings, its low-cost subsidiary, and over time the two brands merged operations significantly. The airline operated scheduled, charter, and wet-lease flights, making it a major player in the Central European aviation market. In 2018, Travel Service rebranded fully under the SmartWings name, effectively ceasing to operate as a distinct brand. The combined entity continues to serve leisure and scheduled routes across Europe and beyond.
