Czech airports surpassed pre-pandemic passenger record

Last year, Czech airports saw a total of 19.28 million passengers - eight percent more than the year before. The figure surpassed the previous pre-Covid record set in 2019 by 2.4 percent, according to an analysis by ERV Travel Insurance.

Václav Havel Airport Prague handled 17.75 million passengers last year, an 8.5 percent increase year on year. The country’s largest airport thus reached virtually the same passenger volume as in 2019, with the difference amounting to just 0.3 percent.

Departures from regional airports are also growing in popularity. While passenger numbers remained roughly the same as the year before - at around 1.53 million - they were still 49 percent higher than in 2019.
