===Foundation and early years===
Smartwings was founded in 1997 originally under the name Travel Service and focused on operating charter flights mainly for Czech tour operators. Its first airplane was a [[Tupolev Tu-154|Tupolev Tu-154M]]. In 2000, Travel Service received its first [[Boeing 737-400]]. 

In 2004, Travel Service launched its low-cost brand Smartwings. Travel Service leased two [[Boeing 737-500]]s from [[Lufthansa]] which were primary intended for Smartwings flights. Both aircraft were painted in the new Smartwings livery. Former Czech president [[Václav Klaus]] attended the opening ceremony, which was held on May 1, 2004.<ref>{{Cite web|date=May 5, 2004|title=SmartWings Příjemná překvapení|url=https://www.itest.cz/old/letectvi/smart_wings.htm|website=iTEST.cz}}</ref> In 2007, the company carried 2.2 million passengers, and a year later about 2.3 million passengers. In 2014, it carried 4.3 million passengers, about 1.2 of them on regular flights under the brand name Smartwings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.novinky.cz/ekonomika/325086-travel-service-hlasi-za-lonsky-rok-skoro-o-petinu-vic-cestujicich.html|title=Travel Service hlásí za loňský rok skoro o pětinu víc cestujících|date=20 January 2014 |publisher=Novinky.cz|language=cs|access-date=20 January 2015}}</ref> On 18 September 2007, the [[Icelandair Group]] acquired 50% stake in the carrier, and purchased further shares to bring its holding up to 80% by April 2008. In December 2008, it reduced its holding to 66% by selling shares to the other shareholders, Unimex.<ref>Annual Report of Travel Service 2007</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://atwonline.com/news/icelandair-group-signs-loi-acquire-czech-airline-operator-travel-service|title=Icelandair Group signs LOI to acquire Czech airline operator Travel Service|publisher=Air Transport World|access-date=13 May 2007}}</ref> In 2009, their stake was further diluted to 50.1% through a new share issue; they also sold a portion of their stake to fellow owners, reducing their holding to 30%.<ref>{{cite web |title=Icelandair Group hf.

Chinese investment group [[CEFC China Energy]] then held a 49.9% stake in Travel Service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nasdaq.com/article/chinesebacked-firm-travel-service-to-take-over-czech-airlines-20171006-00386|title=Chinese-backed firm Travel Service to take over Czech Airlines|agency=Reuters|date=6 November 2017|access-date=30 November 2017}}</ref>

In 2013, Travel Service cancelled its order for a Boeing 787 Dreamliner and purchased a [[Boeing 737 MAX 8]] instead.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

===Development since 2017===
Travel Service owned 98 percent of [[Czech Airlines]]; it bought 64% from Prisko and [[Korean Air]] in 2017. Before, it owned 34%, bought in 2014. After Czech Airlines went through business restructuring, Smartwings retained 30% of the company.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ČSA oslavily 99 let.

In October 2017, it was announced that Travel Service planned to transfer its branding from an airline to a holding company, and would move all of its operations under the Smartwings brand.<ref>[https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/60187-czech-airlines-has-new-owner-as-travel-service-ups-stake Travel Service Rebrand]</ref> In 2018, it was announced that the Travel Service [[Aircraft livery|livery]] would be replaced by the Smartwings livery.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://zdopravy.cz/travel-service-meni-nater-letadel-misto-cervene-bude-oranzova-a-logo-smartwings-9137/|title=Travel Service mění nátěr letadel.

Travel Service was renamed to Smartwings, the name of its former low-cost subsidiary, in December 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-12-09|title=Konec éry Travel Service.

In March 2019, Smartwings announced plans to create a [[Germany|German]] subsidiary by late 2019, and to transition its [[Czech Airlines]] subsidiary to an all-[[Boeing 737]] fleet.<ref name="aanet">[http://www.austrianaviation.net/detail/smartwings-baut-deutsche-tochter-airline-auf/ austrianaviation.net - "Smartwings establishes German subsidiary"] (German) 7 March 2019</ref> However, as of 2022, these plans have not materialized, and Czech Airlines maintains its [[Airbus]] fleet.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aircraft Fleet |url=https://www.csa.cz/cz-en/fleet/ |access-date=2022-05-20 |website=Czech Airlines}}</ref> In February 2021, Smartwings announced the return of their stored [[Boeing 737 MAX]] to service by the end of the month, the first European airline to resume operations following the flying ban lasting over 20 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="737maxreturn">[https://www.aero.de/news-38599/Smartwings-will-noch-im-Februar-die-737-MAX-einsetzen.html aero.de] (German) 9 February 2021</ref>

In February 2024, then owner CITIC – which bought its shares from CEFC – sold all of its shares in Smartwings to Czech-owned Prague City Air, which also owns the majority in [[Czech Airlines]].<ref name=2024ownership>[https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/137487-smartwings-becomes-fully-czech-owned-company ch-aviation.com - Smartwings becomes fully Czech-owned company] 27 February 2024</ref> In October 2024, Smartwings took over all flight operations of Czech Airlines, operating under the Czech Airlines brand, while Czech Airlines was restructured as a [[holding company]].<ref>[https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/140396-czechias-csa-to-become-holding-co-smartwings-to-run-ops ch-aviation.com - Czechia's CSA to become holding co, Smartwings to run ops] 16 May 2024</ref>

==Incidents==
* On 22 August 2019, a Smartwings [[Boeing 737-800]] (Registration: OK-TVO) operated flight QS-1125 departed from [[Samos International Airport|Samos, Greece]] to [[Václav Havel Airport Prague|Prague]], [[Czech Republic]] with 170 passengers on board. The aircraft was flying at {{convert|36,000|feet|m|sigfig=2}} over the [[Aegean Sea]] about {{convert|100|nmi|mi km}} northeast of Athens, Greece when it had an engine failure. The crew drifted the aircraft down to {{convert|24,000|ft|m|sigfig=2}} without informing ATC of the emergency, only informing them of a "technical malfunction". Instead of landing at the nearest suitable airport, as per engine failure procedure, the flight crew carried on to Prague at that level for a landing without further incident about 2 hours 20 minutes later. The Czech Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) confirmed that an investigation had been launched into the incident: "we have decided to launch an investigation as the procedure followed doesn't seem standard."<ref>{{cite news |title=Engine of a SmartWings Boeing 737-800 shuts down in-flight, crew continues to Prague for another 2 hours and 20 minutes on remaining engine |url=https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/smartwings/engine-of-a-smartwings-boeing-737-800-shuts-down-in-flight-crew-continues-to-prague-for-another-2-hours-and-20-minutes-on-remaining-engine/ |access-date=30 August 2019 |publisher=Aviation24}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Smartwings probed for continuing flight after engine failure |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-airlines-smartwings/smartwings-probed-for-continuing-flight-after-engine-failure-idUSKCN1VH16W |access-date=30 August 2019 |publisher=Reuters}}</ref> Following the incident, Prague police launched an investigation into the flight on suspicion of endangering the public due to negligence, and a Smartwings internal investigation demoted the captain from his post as head of flight operations.<ref name="AirlineGeeks">{{cite web|url=https://airlinegeeks.com/2020/07/26/investigation-blames-pilot-error-for-smartwings-engine-shutdown-incident/|title=Investigation Blames Pilot Error For Smartwings Engine Shutdown Incident|last=Gibertini|first=Vanni|website=Airline Geeks|date=26 July 2020|access-date=2 August 2020}}</ref> In July 2020, the CAA released the final report by the [[Air Accidents Investigation Institute]] (AAII), which blamed the incident on the captain failing to follow mandatory procedures, including landing at the nearest possible diversion airport after an engine failure.<ref name="AirlineGeeks"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Final Report: expert investigation of the causes of a serious incident Boeing B737-800 aircraft, license plates OK-TVO flight TVS1125 from LGSM to LKPR of 22 August 2019 [google translation] |url=https://mentourpilot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/FINAL-REPORT.pdf |website=Mentourpilot |access-date=22 August 2020 |ref=CZ-19-0776}}</ref> {{asof|July 2020}}, the captain who piloted the plane during the incident continued to pilot Smartwings flights.<ref>{{cite news |title=The captain made 21 mistakes.
