　　In January 1948 the Communist Party seized power in Czechoslovakia, suspended some western European and Middle East routes, and replaced much of the fleet with Soviet-built aircraft. In 1957 CSA became one of the world's first airlines to fly jet services, taking delivery of the first Tupolev TU-104A. The first transatlantic services started on 3 February 1962 with a flight to Havana[1], using a Bristol Britannia jet-prop ceded by Cubana de Aviación. CSA's transatlantic flights were code-shared with Cubana's own services to Prague, and Cubana's crews provided initial training and assistance in the operation of the Britannias.

　　The Britannia was replaced with Ilyushin IL-62 aircraft in the late 1960s, and new transatlantic routes were established to Montreal and New York, besides Havana. Tupolev TU-134, Ilyushin IL-18 and other Soviet-built aircraft were used in CSA's European services. In the 1990s, all Soviet-built aircraft were replaced with Western-built ones, such as the Boeing 737s and A310s, Airbus A-320s, and short-range ATR aircraft.[citation needed]

　　After the breakup of the Czechoslovak Federation the airline adopted its present name in May 1995. CSA became a full member of the Sky Team alliance on 18 October 2000. The airline is owned by the Czech Ministry of Finance (56.92%), Czech Consolidation Agency (34.59%) and other Czech institutions. It had 4,411 employees (as of January 2005)[citation needed] and has 5,440 employees (at March 2007).
