CSA Logs Profit

PRAGUE -- The Czech national air carrier, Ceskoslovenske Aerolinie a.s., or CSA, has posted pre-tax profits of 16 million crowns ($567,000) in May against a loss of 55.7 million crowns for the same month last year. The positive result was CSA's first profitable month since last September, CSA spokesman Milos Adamek said.


In a statement to journalists, CSA said it reduced its losses for the first five months of the year by some 50 percent compared to the same period in 1993. "It is also important that with increasing costs for air operations CSA managed not to exceed (its) reduced budget, by compensating in other cost areas," the statement said.


CSA posted a loss of 1.5 billion crowns in 1993 after a 200 million crown loss in 1992.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
