According to Jiří Vyskoč, Aviation Business Development Executive Director, the winter flight schedule is in line with the strategy of resuming and increasing frequencies. “Thanks to this trend, we already handled over 11 million passengers by mid-October, and we believe that the new connections will propel further growth. We assume that by 2026 we will be able to return to the pre-Covid-19 figures. The increases during the winter season should also contribute and help us handle more than 15 million passengers next year.” The development of the conflict in Ukraine will also play its part. Prague Airport is currently missing 14 destinations from Russia and Ukraine, amounting to 10 percent of passengers.

Moreover, brand-new connections will also be on offer this winter season. For example, it will be possible to fly to Bilbao aboard Vueling services twice a week, as well as to Cairo (Smartwings), and Yerevan (Czech Airlines). The direct Korean Air long-haul connection to Seoul three times a week and China Airlines to Taipei twice a week, operated since last summer, will remain on offer. Compared to the summer flight schedule, there will also be increases in the frequency of connections on existing routes. This applies, for example, to Rome, where 16 flights will be added per week. In addition, the carrier will offer 14 weekly flights to Amsterdam, with 12 new weekly flights planned on its route to Paris.
