PRAGUE, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Czech privately owned airline Travel Service has signed a contract to buy two Boeing 737-900 ER planes, the air carrier said on Friday.
It said the contract was worth 1.8 billion crowns ($80.18 million) and the planes would expand Travel Service's fleet in 2009.
Travel Service now has a fleet of 10 Boeings <BA.N>, mostly of the 737-800 type. It is planning to add one more next year and another three in 2008.
The company said it controlled over 70 percent of the Czech charter flight market. It also operates a small low-cost airline under the Smartwings brand.
