Visitors will have more choices of carriers to fly as five new companies are set to join the Prague Airport scene this summer. These new carriers will be Qanot Sharq Airlines, SCAT Airlines, FlyOne, Arkia, and KM Malta. A total of 68 carriers will offer services in the Prague Airport.

The airport looks forward to surpassing its record-high 2019 service in the coming years. Prague Airport’s aviation executive director, Jiří Vyskoč, commented: “We expect to handle over 16 million passengers throughout this year, …we are technically speaking at 100 percent of the 2019 figures.”

Future Plans and Current Updates

Besides the current achievements, Prague Airport has plans underway for long-haul routes to Asia and North America. These discussions will see the carrier leverage tourism and business travelers. Negotiations exist to operate regular connections to New York, Beijing, Bangkok, Hanoi, and Delhi.

The airport notes that the war in Ukraine has led to one and a half million passengers short and lack of sixteen destinations from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Belarus.

Also, passengers departing from Prague airport will pay a little more than last year. This follows a slight increase in departing passenger fees that will take effect this summer. Airport officials cite the 5.8 percent increase as a below-average margin among most famed European destinations.
