Prague Airport Resumes Passenger Flights to 55 Destinations

A total of 17 airlines have already announced their intention to resume direct flights from Prague Airport. Specifically, 55 destinations have been listed, ten of which are already in operation. This week, direct flights to seven other destinations will be resumed, namely to Belgrade, Brussels, Budapest, Košice, Keflavik, Manchester and Munich. Thanks to intensive negotiations between Prague Airport and airlines, the list of destinations could expand further in the coming weeks. “Thanks to our intensive negotiations with airlines, Prague Airport is gradually succeeding in resuming direct flights. At the moment we have confirmed a total of 55 destinations. Airlines are returning to their routes from Prague in line with the relaxation of traveling measures and, above all, in response to the demand for flying shown by passengers. It is this demand that will be key to the success of the resumed air connections in the coming weeks and months,” says Václav Řehoř, Chairman of the Prague Airport Board of Directors. “Our main goal is to resume direct scheduled air connections to key destinations, which are major European cities used as important transfer hubs. These include, for example, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid and Vienna. In total, we have selected 45 such...

Czech Republic Confirms More Than 10,000 COVID-19 Cases

The number of coronavirus cases in the Czech Republic rose to more than 10,000, Health Ministry data showed on Monday. To date, 10,024 people have fallen ill with Covid-19. Over 70 percent of people (7,230) have recovered. The number of people who died from the infection rose by one to 330 on Sunday. Covid-19 was diagnosed in 4.42 percent of the people tested on Saturday, the highest positive result since early April. The daily rise in case numbers has been in the range of 31-74 over the past two weeks. According to epidemiologists, the disease now has only local outbreaks in the Czech Republic, especially in the Moravian-Silesian region and Prague. From today, June 15, Czechs will mostly no longer need to wear face masks outside, even when people are close to each other. The requirement to wear facemasks will remain in place in the following cases: in all interiors of buildings, except for places of residence on all forms of public transport when participating in mass outdoor events at a distance of under 1.5 meters from others unless they are members of your household.

Poland Accidentally “Invaded” Czech Republic in May

Poland mistakenly invaded the Czech Republic and kept army presence there in late May until the mistake was discovered and the soldiers were called back to Poland proper, CNN reported on Friday. The Polish Republic closed its borders to protect its public from the spread of the coronavirus and, to ensure that nobody entered the country, the army was sent to Pielgrzymow. Due to both nations being EU member countries, the border is not clearly marked and it is possible the soldiers simply mistook their grounds as part of Poland when it was, in fact, a foreign country. Surprised Czech citizens were told they could not visit a local church, which the soldiers thought was on the Polish side, when in fact the church and the church-goers were in the Czech Republic the entire time. Looking for a job in Prague? Visit our new job section! When the Czech Embassy in Poland was informed of the news it reached out to the Polish government which quickly instructed the army to depart from there. The Czech foreign ministry said Poland has not formally explained the error but had “unofficially assured us that this incident was merely a misunderstanding caused by the Polish...

Tomorrow, June, 12: Live Session About Airbnb, Hotel and Hostel Business in the Czech Republic

We are continuing another Q&A session in cooperation with Prague Integration. This time we are bringing you two different speakers: Shaun Dalton, Revenue Manager at Easybnb and Lovro Rumiha, manager of Clown and Bard hostel, one of the oldest and most original hostels in Prague.  With Shaun and Lovro you will have the opportunity to listen about ”Airbnb, hotel and hostel business in the Czech Republic”.  We have certainly witnessed Prague’s tourism scene shrinking due to the COVID-19 outbreak this spring. That has certainly imposed an impact on the business of the hospitality scene for many of their owners who were left without guests and have even been forced to temporarily or even permanently close their business and lay off their staff. Additionally, many of the Airbnb owners had to immediately change their model and offer their properties for long term rent. As the situation is slowly coming back to normal while we are waiting for the borders to open for tourists, we can’t leave some of the questions hanging in the air. What can we expect now to come and will the Prague hospitality (tourism) scene be the same? Can we expect certain changes in terms of regulations and...

Czech Civil Society Fights Back Against Fake News

In the Czech Republic, the media ecosystem is plagued by disinformation. A group of PR professionals have teamed up to cut off dodgy outlets from their main, and often only, source of income — online ads. The shadow of Soviet-era influence still looms large over the Czech Republic. Recently, it has recently experienced a spate of disinformation and fake news — a blend of pro-Russian propaganda and anti-EU rhetoric. Besides media outlets like the Russian government-sponsored Sputnik, there are dozens of other online media platforms churning out popular Kremlin talking points to the country’s unsuspecting audiences. According to various estimates, the Czech-language disinformation outlets reach about 10% of the country’s population. While some of those outlets show a clear political orientation, often strictly anti-EU and anti-liberal, others seem to favor whatever type of content can generate the most clicks, from anti-5G conspiracy theories to pictures of German Chancellor Angela Merkel standing alongside Adolf Hitler, drawing parallels between today’s Germany and the Nazi Third Reich. Roman Cihalik, a Prague-based PR professional, says that he and his colleagues could no longer bare seeing their work on one of the many disinformation websites on the Czech internet. “From our experience, the absolute majority...
