It will be possible to fly from Prague to a total of 127 destinations around the world with 66 airlines.

"Travelling is no longer limited to the summer season.

We expect to handle more than 6.4 million passengers during this winter season. The winter flight schedule offers a record number of destinations and a significant increase in capacity, namely by more than twelve percent,” Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Prague Airport Board of Directors, said.

Smartwings and the Greatest Increase in Direct Flight Offers

A significant driver of the increase in the offered seat capacity at Václav Havel Airport Prague in the winter season is the airline Smartwings, which is increasing its capacity by more than 260 thousand seats year-on-year. Under the winter flight schedule, it will offer new connections to, for example, Brussels, Bucharest, Bilbao, Porto, Barcelona, and Rome, and at the same time increase the frequency of flights on popular routes to Malaga, Madrid, and Paris.

In the 2025/2026 winter season, new carriers will be welcomed to Prague, for example, Air Arabia (Sharjah), AJet (Istanbul/SAW), Animawings (Bucharest), alongside airlines which launched their operations to Prague during the last summer season, namely Asiana Airlines (Taipei), Condor (Frankfurt), and Etihad Airways (Abu Dhabi).
