Russia's largest air carrier Aeroflot will file a bid for the purchase of the Czech national air company, Czech Airlines (CSA), a business paper reported on Monday.
The Czech Republic wants to sell 91.5% of national carrier CSA Czech Airlines, setting September as the target to complete the sale. The Czech government hopes to get EUR180 million for its controlling stake. CSA performs flights to 104 destinations in 44 countries.
Aeroflot's deputy general director, Mikhail Poluboyarinov, told Vedomosti that the company planned to file an application for the tender, but declined to say how much the Russian flagship air carrier was prepared to pay.
