Vaclav Havel Airport Prague has opened two construction tenders worth a combined CZK 3.5 billion (about €143 million) as part of its long-term modernisation drive. Announced on 1 July, the projects include a new elevated road bridge that will channel public and private traffic more efficiently in front of Terminals 1 and 2, and a 1 098-space multi-storey car park dedicated to airport employees. The bridge – budgeted at CZK 2.3 billion – will create segregated lanes for taxis, buses and private vehicles, eliminating the current pedestrian conflict points. Construction is scheduled to start in 2028 with completion in 2031, dovetailing with the airport’s plan to handle 23 million passengers by 2032. For business travellers, the redesign promises faster kerb-to-gate times and reduced risk of missed check-ins at peak hours. The employee car park, valued at CZK 1.2 billion, will free up surface parking for passengers and include solar panels plus EV-charging infrastructure.

If your travel plans mean tackling Czech visa requirements before arrival, VisaHQ can streamline the entire application process. The company’s online portal offers step-by-step guidance, courier passport services, and real-time status updates for Czech Republic visas, allowing you to focus on trip logistics rather than embassy queues—visit https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/ for details.
Airport management says the extra capacity is a prerequisite for meeting new fire-safety rules that cap on-street staff parking near fuel farms. Environmental consultants note that shifting staff vehicles out of public lots should cut drop-off congestion by 15 % during morning peaks. Tender documents require bidders to propose phased construction so that passenger pick-up zones remain operational. The investment follows last year’s Terminal 2 security-checkpoint expansion and dovetails with the rail link to Prague Main Station due in 2029. Combined, the projects aim to position Prague as a competitive Central-European hub vis-à-vis Vienna and Munich, both of which recently unveiled similar landside revamps. For mobility managers the message is forward-looking: although day-to-day impact is minimal this summer, companies running shuttle buses or arranging VIP transfers should watch project milestones to anticipate temporary lane closures from 2028 onward. Travel-policy teams may also want to budget for rising parking fees once the smarter, higher-cost infrastructure goes live.
