Václav Havel Airport Prague has unveiled its most extensive winter timetable ever, offering direct links to 127 cities – 12 percent more than last year. The schedule, released on 23 October 2025, covers the 29-week period from 26 October 2025 to 28 March 2026 and reflects the airport’s ambition to restore and surpass its pre-pandemic network. New entrant airlines and additional frequencies on core business routes underpin the growth, while leisure carriers are ramping up capacity to ski hubs such as Salzburg, Innsbruck and Tromsø.
Business travellers will welcome the return of daily morning and evening services to Frankfurt, Paris-CDG and London-City, giving Czech companies flexible same-day connectivity to Europe’s top financial centres. Cargo belly-hold capacity also rises by 10 percent thanks to larger wide-body aircraft on Emirates’ Dubai rotation and Korean Air’s restored Seoul frequency – a boon for Czech exporters shipping high-value automotive and technology components.
The winter timetable dovetails with the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) roll-out. Prague Airport will dedicate additional e-gates and roving staff to minimise queues for non-EU nationals enrolling their biometrics for the first time. Airport COO Jiří Pos said the target is to keep average transfer times under 45 minutes despite the new border formalities.
For mobility managers, the richer network means more point-to-point options that can bypass congested hubs and trim travel times – particularly on intra-European assignments. Companies should, however, advise travelling employees to factor in potential EES-related delays on arrival and departure until the system beds in fully next April.
With Moody’s reaffirming the airport’s Aa3 credit rating on 20 October, Prague’s gateway is positioned to accelerate its CZK 32 billion capital-works plan, including a Pier C extension and a dedicated business-aviation terminal, both slated to open before summer 2027. These upgrades will further raise capacity and enhance the traveller experience for corporate assignees and expatriates alike.
