Prague Airport to Introduce 13 New Autumn-Winter Destinations

Prague Airport will offer passengers 13 new destinations for the 2024 winter season.

Starting this winter, Václav Havel Prague Airport will connect travelers to 115 destinations across 56 airlines during the upcoming autumn-winter aviation season (October 27 – March 31).

This is a significant increase—four times more than last year—but still 60% lower than the pre-pandemic record from 2019.

Flights to European favorites like Edinburgh, Nice, Naples, Nantes, Glasgow, Birmingham, and Athens will now be available throughout the winter season, as they were previously limited to summer schedules.

Completely new destinations have been introduced, including Liverpool, Belfast, Kayseri in Turkey, and exotic spots like Manama (Bahrain), Puerto Vallarta (Mexico), and Holguín (Cuba).

The airport will also resume several popular long-haul winter flights to tropical destinations such as the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana), Vietnam (Phu Quoc), Thailand (Krabi), Kenya (Mombasa), Zanzibar, Oman (Salalah), Cape Verde (Sal), and Cuba (Santa Clara).

Passenger Growth Outlook

Prague Airport forecasts that total passenger traffic will reach 16.2 million in 2024, up from 13.8 million last year. Low-cost airlines play a significant role in this recovery, currently handling around half of the airport’s traffic.

By the end of this year, these carriers are expected to serve 7.4 million passengers, accounting for approximately 45% of the overall volume.

As of now, the airport is operating at 80% of its pre-pandemic capacity. However, a full recovery to pre-COVID record levels is anticipated by 2025.
