CZECH AIRLINES LIFT FUEL SURCHARGE

Due to a decrease in air fuel prices, CSA has cancelled (valid from 1 January 2002 ) the applied fuel surcharge. We will continue monitoring the development of the fuel price and in case of repeated price increase, we will be forced to renew application of the fuel surcharge.
Korean Air has not yet canceled the fuel surcharge. The fuel surcharge will be applied on AWBs where Korean Air is one of the shippers. The fuel surcharge is 3.60 CZK/kg.

INTRODUCTION OF SALES MODUL

CSA is in the process of launching, on a trial basis, a new sales-accounting system named "Sales Modul". The system will speed up the processing of account data.

Sales Modul will affect some business partners, to whom CSA AWB numbers will be given. For the smooth operation of this system, we ask our business partners to use the given AWB numbers only.

In case of any questions, or if you are interested in obtaining AWB stock, do not hesitate to contact Mr. Vavrova - phone 02/2011 3698.

NEW RATES STUCTURE TO GERMANY

Due to the launching of "Sales Modul", some changes have been made in the tariff structure to Germany. Only the rates M and N will be applied to this territory.

IATA DANGEROUS GOODS EXAMS

As we have already informed you, CSA requests that all our customers who export DGR have at least one employee with an IATA DGR certificate. To help all our partners to obtain this certificate, we are extending the period for obtaining it to 1 May 2002.

The next course, organized by the CSA Training Centre, will take place in April 2002. The cost is approximately 6 000,-CZK. Applications must be made by the end of 2001. (Contact Mrs. Dubská, ph. 02/2011 2487).

NEW EMPLOYEE IN SALES DEPARTMENT

CSA COOPERATES WITH ALITALIA

Thanks to our close cooperation with our new alliance partner - Alitalia - we are able to offer you an extended amount of destinations. In the first days of the year 2002, you will obtain amendments to the price list, where you will see new, interesting destinations in Africa, North America and Asia operated by Alitatia.

TRANSPORTATION OF LIVE ANIMALS WITH EMIRATES

In regards to transport of live animals, Emirates Airlines immediately requires written confirmation from a shipper, saying that a consignee will accept such a consignment at the arrival destination. Practically, this means that booking is not possible without the consignee´s written confirmation.
We kindly ask our customers always to have such confirmation when requesting live-animal transport with Emirates.

ACCEPTING LIVE ANIMALS FOR TRANSPORTATION

We would like to remind those of our customers who transport live animals of the valid conditions for such transportation: When exporting animals, the stall must bear the following information:

• Shipper - name, address, phone number.
• Consignee - name, address, phone number.
• A person, that can be contacted regarding the matter of consignment (in cases where it is different than the shipper or consignee).
• General English title and specialised Latin title - e.g., Reptiles/Varanus komodoensis.
• Consignments of poisonous animals, that can bite or sting (bees or reptiles), the stall must be marked with "Poisonous".
• Consignments of aggressive animals e.g. , birds, lizards, beasts, must be marked with the title "This animal bites".
• The animal stall must contain information regarding the animal's feeding - when the last feeding of the animal was, and instructions on how to feed it.

When importing animals, the stall must have the following labels:

• AVI label - leave the symbol of the animal being transported and cross out the others.
• The number of animals and their general English title (e.g., 4 Cats) must be shown in the line reserved for kind of animal.
• The labels "This way up" must be stuck on all sides of the animal.

Animals (kittens and puppies) that are younger then 3 months must not be accepted for transportation. The vaccination must be given, at the earliest, 2 months after birth and it is necessary to observe a waiting period of 30 days.

Putting the animal into a state of sleep before transportation is not recommended and it is dependant on the decision of a veterinarian. When inducing sleep, information regarding the sleep-inducing drug, the time it was given to the animal, and the route on which it was applied must be marked on the stall and enclosed along with the documentation.

Cargo News - October 2001

NEW CSA CARGO RATE SHEETS

• rate reduction to Middle East and Far East destinations,
• an increase to US destinations.

At the same time you will obtain Terminal charges which are valid from 1 November 2001 and are enclosed along with the price list.

We would like to point out the "Security Charge", which is applied on CSA flights from 15 October 2001 to cover increased costs arising from higher insurance policies for air transportation. CSA is observing the on-going developments in the air-fuel market and is ready to cancel the Fuel Surcharge in case of falling air-fuel prices.

CHANGES TO WINTER 2001/2002 TIMETABLE

Due to changes in passenger-transportation demand, CSA was forced to adjust its recently published timetable "Winter 2001/2002" (valid from 28 October 2001 to 30 March 2002).

• The flight OK-052/053 PRG-EWR-PRG will not be operating from 20 November 2001

• B-737-400 aircraft will be used for the CSA flight to Dubai, instead of the planned A-310 aircraft

NEW TERMINAL CHARGES

The basic import and export handling charge remains unchanged, although some new handling charges have been established. We would like to point them out:

• Airway bill issuing (AWC fee) CZK 200,- (involving those customers whom CSA issues AWB at the CSA Cargo Terminal - Prague Airport).
• Obtaining a transit licence for consignments of arms and munitions (TRC fee) CZK 1500,-.

This new product was introduced in the year 2001 and transportation is offered to the following destinations: Frankfurt, Paris, London, Helsinki, Birmingham and Manchester and New York JFK. We would be pleased to supply you with any further information you may need.

HANDLING FEE FOR SHIPMENTS TO USA

We remind you of the charge established by the US Customs House in July 1997, regarding customs procedures for shipments terminating in the USA, is still valid. This charge is CZK 150,- per shipment and is charged, due shipper, to the basic terminal charge.

SHIPMENTS TO LEBANON

We would like to remind you that shipments to Beirut cannot be shipped separately due to customs reasons. We advise you to send approximately 500 kg on one AWB in order to avoid problems with Lebanese customs officials.

CSA CARGO OPERATING HOURS

After prior arrangement with the management of CSA Cargo - Operations, it is possible to hand over your consignment outside of these above-listed operating hours.

Cargo News - Extra

Extra security arrangements at CSA Cargo Terminal

Due to the events of 11 September 2001 in the USA, a greater level of attention is being given to air-transport security by all carriers. Among the security precautions taken is the x-raying of all export consignments, which of course, extends the consignment handling period.

We kindly ask you to observe the following conditions when delivering your consignments:

1. the consignments must always be completely ready to go, and must be delivered early enough before the flight's departure
2. if possible, deliver the consignments on Europaletes, so we do not have to x-ray each consignment separately

We also remind you, that according to new FAA regulations, all export consignments to USA which cannot be x-rayed, must be kept for 48 hours in our warehouse. For your information, the front dimensions of our x-ray are 120 x 120 cm.

Support for BRITISH AIRWAYS precautions

In regards to an incident from the summer of this year where a large amount of non-declared cargo was shipped from Prague, British Airways World Cargo (BAWC) established strict requirements for the observation of dangerous goods regulations, in order to ensure safety and correct documentation procedure. CSA Cargo expresses its full support for these safety precautions.

Each agency should have the actual IATA DGR at its disposal and at least one worker should have an IATA DGR certificate. CSA will apply this standard for co-operation with all agencies from 1 January 2002. We remind you that your workers can acquire these IATA certificates through the CSA Training Centre. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Iva Dubska, at phone number: 02/2011 2394.

Air transport carriers often grapple with the problem of incomplete Air Way Bills (AWBs) missing some sheets. Photocopies must be made of the missing sheets, and this is expensive and time-consuming. It is necessary for export AWBs to contain copies 1,2,4,5,6, and 7. We would like to point out that CSA reserves the right not to accept AWBs which do not contain these copies.

We would like to point out as well, that the shipper who is signed at the right-hand bottom corner of the AWB has the full responsibility towards the carrier for the contents of the consignment. So if your agency's name is given instead of the real shipper's name, you are fully responsible for the contents of the consignment.

It is necessary:

• to show on the AWB the full address of the consignee, including the phone number
• to determine the commodity in the most specific way possible
• to check the customer's information about the consignment's weight

If there are any doubts regarding the contents of the consignment, such a consignment is automatically excluded from transport.

It is also necessary to make a difference between ´other charges` due carrier and ´other charges` due agent, and to insert the ´other charges` into the proper columns. The AWB must be filled in correctly, and must contain all copies. This will be strictly checked and in cases where charges are shown incorrectly, CSA reserves the right to correct those AWBs. They will be corrected by CCA (Cargo Charges Correction Advice) and the corrections will be charged.

We believe that all the above-mentioned necessary restrictions will be accepted with your full understanding. We want to ensure the maximum level of safety for our passengers and to provide the seamless transport of your consignments.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation.

Higher Cargo capacity to USA

Due to a present reduction in passengers travelling from Prague to New York, it is possible to extend the capacity for cargo transportation on this route. CSA is now able to transport cargo in higher weight categories and volumes than usual. Please, book space in the standard way through the Space Control department or the Sales department. Thank you.

New possibility for transport to the Inland of USA

Cargo transport from Prague to New York (JFK and EWR) is with CSA, and then a continuing connection by truck transport to USA destinations with the company 3A - Alliance Airlines.

Let us highlight some advantages of this method of transportation:

• 3A guarantees, that cargo is checked out from New York to the final destination the same day it arrives in New York
• there are no capacity restrictions for continuing transport beyond New York, except restrictions caused by the character of the Airbus 310 airplane type

• Boston - overnight
• Philadelphia - overnight
• Atlanta - 1 day
• Chicago - 1 day
• Houston - 2 days
• Miami - 2 days
• Los Angeles - 4 days
• in most cases, cargo goes directly to the final destination without any other re-loading
• the entire time the consignment is on its way, you can track it either on (www.csacargo.com) or directly on 3A's Web-site (www.allianceairlines.com).
• the prices to most destinations are lower than when using air transportation, you may get information regarding prices from our info line: +420 2 2011 5333
• easy booking procedures, only with CSA Cargo
