PRAGUSA ONE (branded as PRAGUSA.ONE) is a proposed European startup airline, based in both Prague (Czech Republic) and Dubrovnik (Croatia) — with its primary hub in Prague. From these destinations, PRAGUSA ONE will operate long haul flights to destinations in the United States, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Africa, with key cities including New York, Johannesburg, Singapore, and Tokyo. Although it will be based in Prague, the airline’s ownership is in the U.K.
When the airline commences operations, it will do so with two A350-900s and two A330-300s, which will be wet leased. This will be the start of the airline’s plans to grow its fleet, with plans for four permanent A350-900s in 2024.
What makes PRAGUSA.ONE somewhat unique is that the airline plans on only offering Premium Economy seats. So, its A350-900s will only have 251 seats, on an aircraft capable of having over 400 Economy seats.
Did you know? The airline’s name isn’t a combination of ‘Prague’ and ‘USA (which will be a key market for the airline), but a combination of ‘Prague’ and ‘Ragusa’, the historical name for Dubrovnik.

Until PRAGUSA.ONE’s air operator certificate is granted, more details about how the carrier plans on operating will be limited.
