Speaking in Prague, Ryanair’s Jason McGuinness said:

“With the addition of a 4^th based aircraft in Prague this Winter, Ryanair has fully restored its pre-Covid traffic to Prague Airport. Prague and wider Czech capacity recovery, however, continues to lag the rest of Europe who have either recovered or grown their pre-Covid traffic following the reduction of airport charges and the introduction of competitive incentive schemes. Ryanair as the number one carrier wishes to support the rapid recovery of Czech connectivity and tourism – however this can only be achieved based on competitive airport charges.

Ryanair is pleased to provide even more choice and lower fares to Prague’s customers/visitors for Winter 23/24, with 27 routes, incl. 6 exciting new routes to Catania, East Midlands, Gdańsk, Malaga, Seville and Tirana, as well as increased frequencies on another 12 routes, incl. popular winter sun and city break destinations like Barcelona, Budapest, Dublin, Madrid, Manchester, Paris, and Rome.

To support this exciting new Winter schedule, we have added 1 new aircraft bringing our total of based aircraft at Prague to 4 – a $400m investment and creating 30 new local jobs – as Ryanair continues to boost connectivity, inbound tourism, and jobs for Prague.”
