AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT VISUALIZATION
EXPANDING
TERMINAL
CAPACITY
2029 - 2033
The future expansion of the airport’s terminal building capacity is planned primarily by way of the completion of construction of Terminals 1 and 2, which will bring innovations to the handling process alongside new operational solutions. In particular, the infrastructure for handling passengers and long-haul flights will be significantly improved and new commercial areas will be built to increase the level of service and comfort for passengers.
Long-term Outlook
Prospective development phases will increase the capacity of the terminal complex in line with operational demand. Subsequent construction of a new pier is planned for additional long- and medium-haul aircraft contact stands, expansion of areas for passengers on arrivals and departures including a corresponding increase in all terminal operational and handling capacities.
PARKING BUILDINGS
2027 - 2029
Future plans include an expansion of the current parking capacity. Multiple new parking buildings and areas are to be built to meet future mobility trends, including the necessary infrastructure for electric vehicles. One of the new parking buildings designed to increase the convenience of parking at the airport will include a terminal for public and coach transport. The buildings will largely replace existing parking capacity and we expect to use advanced IT technologies to monitor occupancy and ensure security.
SKYWALK
The Skywalk is planned along the axis of Aviatická Street, together with modifications to the public space between Terminal 2 and the parking buildings and their immediate surroundings. Its main purpose is to provide passengers and airport visitors with an unhindered and collision-free connection to the buildings in the public area in front of the terminals. It is expected that connections will be made primarily to the new and existing parking building.
Parallel Runway
2030+
The Parallel Runway system consisting of two parallel runways will increase safety, contribute to the improvement of the environment, and be operationally significantly more efficient than the current system. Another major advantage of the Parallel Runway project is the airport closure for traffic between midnight and 5:30 a.m. The use of the currently active runway 12/30, which passes over densely populated areas of Prague and the Kladno area, will be discontinued upon the launch of operations of the parallel runway. The area of the current secondary runway will free up a large space with exceptional investment opportunities. The parallel runway construction schedule was significantly impacted by the pandemic; however, intense preparations are currently underway.
