PRG has been empty since OK dropped the route, so it makes sense... However, I'm still at a loss as to where TBS came from.

As reported elsewhere A3 will introduce two new routes to PRG and TBS .

PRG 3 times a week on Tues/Thurs/Sat

TBS 2 times a week on Mon/Thurs

I guess TBS seems a good way to see if A3 can capture some connecting traffic from Western Europe destinations (timing wise seems to match), bring in some Georgians to Greek beaches, and a busy A320 in the night hours.

If it works that's another story.
But it seems a bit like the OS model with flights in the night hours to some Eastern Europe/Central Asia destinations (EVN, IKA, TSE)

Airlineroute (http://airlineroute.net/2012/04/27/a3-tbs-jun12/) reports TBS is being postponed to JUN11 from original MAY24

GBM

Also ATH-LCA-BEY, 4 times a week between 15 June and 10 September, on A320. Nightstop in BEY.

There are lots of Georgian migrants in Greece.
