In February 2012 the airline retired their last Saab 340F.
On 18 June 2012 Central Connect Airlines ceased its regular operations due to financial difficulties. The airline served routes from Prague to Berlin, Stuttgart, Hanover, Ljubljana, Kraków and Zagreb in cooperation with Czech Airlines. The routes were first taken over by the end of March 2012 from Czech Airlines. There were plans to reorganize the company.[3]
