China is becoming an increasingly important source of tourists. Flights between Prague and Beijing began Sept. 23, 2015, and flights to Chengdu began Aug. 12, 2016.
The number of arrivals from China to the Czech Republic in 2018 increased the most of any major country, up 26.5 percent to reach 619, 877. China was the third-largest source of visitors in the fourth quarter in 2018, after Germany and Slovakia. For the entire year, China was in fourth place, with Poland edging it out to take third.
In terms of overnight stays, visitors from China to the Czech Republic were in eighth place, with 915,875 stays, up 22.9 percent from the previous year.
Thanks largely to new routes and increased service on existing routes, Václav Havel Airport Prague in 2018 had a record total of 16,797,006 passengers passing through the airport, with a total of 155,530 take-offs and landings. While there were 9 percent more passengers, the number of airplane movements increased less than 5 percent.
Václav Havel Airport Prague opened April 5, 1937, as Prague Ruzyně Airport. Right after former president Václav Havel's death on Dec. 18, 2011, an online petition asked the government to rename it to Václav Havel International Airport. This name change took place Oct. 5, 2012, on what would have been Havel's 76th birthday.
