Over one-quarter of Czechs use plane for travel in past year

Prague, Oct 23 (CTK) - Twenty-eight percent of Czechs have used a plane for travel in the past year, and almost three-fifths of them fly regularly, according to a survey commissioned in the Czech Republic by Britain's air carrier British Airways.

Air travel is most often used by people on business trips who make several flights during a year. Planes are not usually used by Czechs for private purposes more than twice a year.
