Airport

Prague International Ruzyne airport is located 18 kilometers from the city centre. It offers direct links with almost all major European cities and oversees flights as well. New airport of international standards caters to 12 million people every year. 51 passenger airlines offering direct connections to 105 cities all over the world and 7 cargo airlines now fly to Prague.

With its exceptional location in the centre of Europe, Prague Airport is also gaining in importance as a transfer hub. The Czech Republic’s accession to the EU in 2004 and to the Schengen area in 2007 have been major factors in the long-term growth. From the end of March 2008, boarding flights to Schengen countries take place without any customs and passport controls.
