Vaclav Havel Airport - Prague, Czechia

Planes line up, land and climb away on the long main runway at Václav Havel Airport Prague (Letiště Václava Havla Praha), about 7 miles (12 km) west of the city center, and this camera watches them from a distance across the airfield.

The airport opened as Prague-Ruzyně on April 5, 1937. Its original 1930s terminal still stands, and today it's used only for VIP flights and state visits. The main runway, 06/24, is 12,188 feet (3,715 m) long.

In 2025 the airport handled about 17.75 million passengers, up around 8.5 percent on the year before. It's by far the busiest airport in Czechia, with flights across Europe and to the Middle East and Asia.

Did You Know? On October 5, 2012, the airport was renamed after Václav Havel, the playwright who became the last president of Czechoslovakia and the first president of the Czech Republic.
