Prague airport registers 15 percent rise in number of visitors

Prague's Ruzyne international airport has registered a 15 percent rise in the number of visitors who passed through its gates in the first six months of this year, compared to last, a total of almost 5 million visitors. Airport representatives expect that as many as 10 million could pass through Ruzyne by the end of 2005. The Czech Airport Authority is currently building a new dispatch terminal which will be partly functional in August - and fully functional early next year. The project has cost a reported 8.5 billion crowns, around 340 million dollars US.
