Václav Havel Airport Prague published its winter schedule update on 3 November, listing 165 direct destinations—its largest winter network ever. The timetable, compiled by travel data site Zaleťsi, confirms new or expanded services to Riyadh (Flynas), Jerevan (Wizz Air) and Abu Dhabi (Etihad and Smartwings charters), while Delta’s seasonal New York flight is suspended until May 2026.
For corporates the headline is capacity. Frequencies on key business routes rise: British Airways will operate up to five Heathrow rotations daily, Finnair doubles Helsinki to 14 weekly flights, and Brussels Airlines reaches 18 weekly services—critical for EU-quarter commuters. Prague–Dubai returns to daily with Smartwings plus Emirates codeshare, offering late-night east-bound connections valued by project teams heading to the Gulf and India.
Air-cargo managers note that Etihad’s A330 service adds 10 tonnes of belly space per flight, supporting just-in-time electronics exports. Travel buyers should also watch Ryanair and EasyJet, which together will fly more than 30 weekly sectors to Manchester, Stansted and Gatwick, giving assignment managers leverage in fare negotiations.
Airport operations warned travellers that the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) continues to be phased in; first-time biometric enrolment can still add up to 15 minutes at passport control. Companies are advised to pad schedules for Monday-morning departures through January.
