Prague’s Václav Havel Airport has unveiled expansion plans that will double its capacity by 2035, amounting to $1bn (R14.7bn) in total.
Developments include a new centralised security checkpoint with automated security lines, two large-capacity luggage carousels, new parking garages at Terminal 2 with electric car charging stations, a three-storey walkway connecting buildings and a new plaza in front of Terminal 2.
Additionally, Terminal 2 will be extended, with new piers, departure gates and bridges.
Work on a new runway should begin in 2025, and will be in operation from 2028.
The airport also plans to use land around the airport for facilities like a hotel, sports centre, medical centre for tourists and a railway station.
