Air Hub in the Heart of the Czech Republic
Prague Václav Havel Airport is the gateway to the Central European region. It is also an airport in one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and the largest aviation operator in the Czech Republic.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, this international air hub handled almost 18 million passengers annually. Prague Airport expects to handle 17.7 million passengers this year, representing an annual increase of almost 8% compared to 2024. Therefore, Prague Airport will match the record year of 2019 this year and expects to surpass it next year. Passengers can choose from more than 80 airlines throughout the year, connecting Prague with over 180 destinations worldwide via direct flights. Prague Airport employs approximately 3,000 people, and an estimated 14,000 individuals work for companies operating at or associated with the airport.
Prague Airport supports the development of air connectivity, contributing to the further expansion of business and investment activities. At the same time, both existing and new foreign investors in the Czech Republic create an environment for the growing demand for business and corporate travel as well as cargo transportation, which is crucial for the development of new air routes. In this context, the main focus is the development of long-haul connections, with priority given to non-European markets – the USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, and China.
In its operations, Prague Airport closely cooperates with the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic, the Civil Aviation Authority, Air Traffic Control of the Czech Republic, airlines, public administration authorities both within and outside the aviation sector, and other airport users. Last but not least, it also cooperates with the City of Prague and the municipalities in its vicinity. Three carriers use Václav Havel Airport Prague as their base – Smartwings, Ryanair, and Eurowings.
Prague Airport places great emphasis on conducting business in line with the principles of sustainable development. The operation of an international airport includes a wide range of activities that impact various stakeholders and areas. The voluntary integration of social responsibility principles into the company's daily operations and future development plans has become an integral part of our business. We view the success of the company not only as economic profit but also as the path that leads to it. As a large company, we feel a strong responsibility towards all stakeholders and the world of the future.
