The surcharge is calculated from the actual weight of consignments and applies to all weight categories, including M.

BOOKING STATISTICS “FLOWN AS BOOKED“

As of August 2002, we regularly monitor so called “flown as booked“ statistics. It is a number of consignments sent on CSA flights in accordance with their booking, related to the total number of booked consignments. The first monitored month it was 92,6 %, for consignments from Prague 96 %.
