TRAVEL IS EVOLVING AND WE’RE
EVOLVING WITH IT
Travelling is now an ordinary part of life. People are flying more often, discovering more distant destinations, expecting higher levels of comfort and service, but also taking the environment into account more. Airports must adapt to this change, or they will begin to fall behind and stagnate.
THE AIRPORT IS AT THE LIMIT
OF ITS CAPACITY
Today, Václav Havel Airport Prague is operating at the limit of its capabilities, especially at peak times. Without modernisation, delays, queues and inconvenience would increase without improvements to operations or a reduction in their impacts.
THE MODERNISATION WORK ADDRESSES MORE THAN JUST PASSENGER COMFORT
An airport is not just a departure and arrival point. It is an important part of the economy, tourism and the Czech Republic’s connection to the world. It also has a responsibility to the people who live in its neighbourhood.
WITHOUT MODERNISATION,
CHANGE WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE
Without well thought-out redevelopment, the airport’s accessibility cannot be improved, passenger handling cannot be sped up and noise pollution cannot be reduced. The modernisation is not about growth at any cost, but about making operations more seamless, efficient and considerate.
BECAUSE NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME
The airport has a clear plan, experience and the financial stability to deal with the modernisation from its own or commercial resources. Delaying it would not solve the problem; it would only postpone the solution.
