RegioJet suing Czech Railways for unfair competition

The private rail company RegioJet is suing Czech Railways for unfair competition for having sold tickets on the Prague-Ostrava route at prices below which they could reasonably cover their costs. The company is demanding over 700 million crowns in damages. The company CEO Radim Jancura also announced RegioJets plans expand its services to Moravia and neighbouring Slovakia. Another private operator, Leo Express, has likewise sued Czech Railways for the same reason. The complaint concerns the years 2011 to 2014 when Czech Railways had a dominant position on the market.
