Air carrier Smartwings has been expanding its presence at Prague airport, offering flights to nearly 60 destinations. As of October 20, Smartwings will resume direct flights from Prague to Dubai, UAE. The line will be operated very day under the winter flight schedule.

“We have seen an increased demand for our services, which is why we continue expanding our portfolio. United Arab Emirates and Dubai in particular are highly popular destinations. Smartwings offers very attractive departure times from both Prague and Dubai, which will be appreciated not only by passengers flying to Dubai as their final destination but also those who transfer to other flights from Dubai to travel to Asia, Africa, or Australia,” says Peter Šujan, Business Director, Smartwings.
Smartwings expects the number of its passengers to/from Prague to exceed 280 thousand in July alone, with another nearly 100 thousand flying to/from Brno and Ostrava.
