Low-cost carrier EasyJet revealed on 27 April 2026 that it will open a non-stop connection between Hamburg Airport (HAM) and Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) from 26 October 2026. The service will operate twice weekly, with departures scheduled for Monday mornings and Friday evenings—flight times that are tailor-made for Central Europe’s growing population of week-long commuters and weekend city-breakers.
![EasyJet announces new Hamburg–Prague route, restoring a key Central-European business corridor]()
Whether you’re a German engineer heading to Prague or a Czech entrepreneur jetting to Hamburg, securing the right travel documents is now simpler than ever. VisaHQ’s online portal (https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/) guides applicants through Czech Republic visa requirements, offers expedited processing options, and provides live customer support—so you can focus on flight schedules, not paperwork.
The announcement re-establishes year-round, point-to-point capacity on a route that lost its only daily flight when Czech Airlines scrapped several regional services during the pandemic. Hamburg is home to Airbus’s largest final-assembly lines outside France and hosts the European headquarters of dozens of maritime, renewable-energy and logistics multinationals. EasyJet’s return therefore plugs an important gap for Czech suppliers and German investors who must regularly shuttle engineering teams and sales staff between the two cities. For Prague, the new link strengthens its hub-and-spoke network at a moment when passenger numbers are rebounding to a projected post-Covid record of 19 million this year. Travel-management companies say the Hamburg connection will rank alongside existing Frankfurt, Munich and Düsseldorf frequencies as one of the most requested German routes by Czech corporates, particularly in the automotive, chemicals and IT-services sectors that have footprints in both regions. EasyJet will operate Airbus A320-family aircraft on the sector, offering around 11,000 round-trip seats in the winter 2026/27 schedule. The twice-weekly pattern allows travellers to complete a full slate of mid-week meetings or a long weekend without overnight layovers, reducing per-diem costs for employers. Introductory fares start at €49 one-way—including one under-seat carry-on—making the service price-competitive against rail via Berlin and markedly faster than a seven-hour drive. Travel-programme managers should review corporate booking tools to ensure the new fare class is loaded once GDS filing is complete in May, and remind mobile workers that Prague Airport’s Terminal 2 (intra-Schengen) remains the departure point even after the EU Entry/Exit biometric system went live earlier this month. Forward-looking companies may wish to negotiate SME-bundle discounts with EasyJet to lock in capacity during the inaugural season, when demand upside is hardest to forecast.
