Prague Airport Sees 24% Passenger Surge in First Half of the Year

In the first six months of this year, Václav Havel Airport Prague handled over seven million passengers, which represents a year-on-year increase of almost a quarter.

The number of passengers in the first half of the year reached 92 percent of the 2019 record year. The most flights were operated to and from Great Britain, Italy, Spain, France, and Germany.

Every eighth passenger handled at Václav Havel Airport Prague flew to or arrived from Great Britain. It is therefore no surprise that London ranked top among the operated destinations.

Paris took the imaginary silver podium, Amsterdam ended third, Milan was fourth, and Rome completed the list of the TOP 5 champions. For some passengers, the listed places became the final destinations of their trip, while others used the respective airports as transfer points.

From January to June, direct air connections to 13 new destinations were added to the network.

Alongside the resumption of the long-haul route to Beijing, the flight schedule now also includes connections to Kazakhstan’s Astana, the Italian cities of Brindisi, Florence, and Verona, the Turkish resort of Izmir, the Moldovan capital of Chisinau, La Palma in the Canary Islands, Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Poznan in Poland, Tallinn in Estonia, Tashkent in Uzbekistan, and Tbilisi in Georgia.
