The Airspace Management Cell (AMC) of Air Navigation Services Czech Republic published an Airspace Use Plan (AUP) late on 25 June covering the 24-hour period from 06:00 UTC on 26 June. The document designates more than 30 Temporary Reserved Areas (TRAs) and Temporary Segregated Areas (TSAs) for army flight training, live firing and parachute jumps over central and eastern Bohemia and parts of Moravia. Key zones include TRA101–104 (surface to FL065) active all day near Čáslav, and TSA3A (surface to FL125) scheduled 07:00–11:00 UTC for live-fire exercises. Civil IFR routes remain available, but business-aviation operators must file avoidance plans or seek tactical rerouting; unmanned-aircraft flights are effectively banned in the affected blocks. Charter brokers report that several ad-hoc corporate flights into Pardubice and Hradec Králové airports have been rescheduled to Prague or Brno to mitigate slot uncertainty. Cargo carriers transiting the LKAA FIR are advised to monitor NOTAMs A0871 and B1870, which add late-night gunnery windows.

For flight departments juggling last-minute crew changes or passengers now funneled through alternative Czech gateways, VisaHQ offers a quick, entirely online service to secure Czech Republic visas and handle ancillary documentation, helping operators avoid bureaucratic snags while the airspace picture remains fluid: https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/
For travel-managers the takeaway is the growing interaction between defence readiness and commercial mobility in Central Europe. NATO’s Ramstein Flag aerial drill concluded only days ago, and Czech officials hint that their own Ample Strike manoeuvres will follow in September. Companies with time-sensitive shipments or senior-executive travel should build extra buffer into itineraries and ensure that dispatch teams have real-time access to AMC updates. The current restrictions expire at 06:00 UTC on 27 June, but the AMC notes that an updated AUP will be issued each morning; stakeholders should therefore conduct daily briefings before filing flight plans.
