Low-cost carrier Eurowings announced on 11 November that it will launch a weekly summer-season service between Brindisi’s Salento Airport and Prague from 3 June 2026. The Wednesday rotation departs Prague at 07:15 and returns from Brindisi at 10:00, arriving back in the Czech capital at midday.
Although leisure demand underpins the route, the flight also creates a convenient link for Czech engineering firms operating in Apulia’s renewable-energy and aerospace clusters around Taranto and Grottaglie. Travel management companies note that current itineraries require time-consuming connections via Rome or Milan; a non-stop leg will cut door-to-door journey times by at least three hours.

Prague Airport’s winter timetable already offers a record 165 direct destinations, and the Brindisi addition signals continued network expansion. For mobility planners the route offers another option for rotational assignees commuting between Czechia and southern Italy, and may support cargo belly-space for niche high-value goods such as precision components and pharmaceuticals.
Tickets are on sale now, with Eurowings operating an Airbus A320 configured for 180 seats. Corporate negotiated-fare programmes can be loaded into global distribution systems immediately. Companies should review travel-policy caps, as early-bird return fares start around €150 including 8 kg cabin baggage.
The announcement comes amid rising competition: Ryanair already connects Prague to Bari, while Wizz Air serves Naples. Prague Airport officials say further Mediterranean launches will be unveiled before the 2026 summer schedule is finalised.
