mediating language study programmes abroad (1996)

Within the transport field, Student Agency operated international bus transport from the start and since 2004 the company operated regular domestic lines.
On 24 February 2006, Student Agency was recognised in the TTG Travel Awards of 2005 as “Best flight (IATA) agency in the Czech Republic” and “Best bus transporter”.
