Prague Airport Plans Major Modernization – What to Expect

Václav Havel Airport Prague is set for a major modernization over the next decade, with an estimated cost of 32 billion CZK by 2033.

The project includes the demolition and reconstruction of parking lots, an overhaul of access roads, terminal expansions, and a long-awaited railway connection with a new train station.

According to airport spokeswoman Denisa Hejtmánková, the modernization plans involve tearing down and rebuilding several parking areas, adding new surface parking, and demolishing the current flyover leading to Terminal 2 for a complete rebuild.

Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 will undergo expansions to accommodate increasing passenger numbers.

Additionally, the airport will see major infrastructure upgrades, including a new cable duct and a transformer station to boost power supply. These upgrades aim to ensure the airport can handle future growth efficiently.

Traffic Restrictions Begin March 3

As part of the initial phase, from March 3 until the end of June, there will be traffic restrictions on the Aviatická access road and PB parking lot due to repairs on the second road in front of Terminal 1.

“A supply corridor under Terminal 1 is also planned this year to improve logistics for shops and restaurants,” Hejtmánková stated. The construction of this corridor is estimated to cost 90 million CZK and is expected to enhance efficiency for airport businesses.

Railway Connection in Sight

One of the most anticipated elements of the modernization is the airport’s integration with Prague’s railway network. Plans include the construction of a train station at the airport, offering passengers a much-needed alternative to road transport. This project aligns with Prague’s broader efforts to enhance public transport connectivity and reduce road congestion around the airport.
