Prague's Ruzyne Airport handles around 250 flights a day and is used by approximately fifty carriers who operate direct connections, scheduled and charter, to 103 destinations around the world, making this airport immense.
Its longest runway is 12,100 feet in length. (3688 meters)
Up to 1.2 million people a month use the airport - around the same number of people who live in Prague itself. Based on the number of passengers passing through the terminals (around 11-12 million passengers every year), Ruzyne is now among the top 30 airports in Europe. Its popularity has been boosted by the number of budget airlines now benefiting from Prague's location in central Europe. These companies now link Prague with 13 cities in Europe. For instance, 16 flights a day leave for London alone.
The Prague Airport has three(3) terminals:
- Terminal 1 - Inter-Continental flights including flights to the United Kingdom, Ireland, North America (USA, Canada), Middle-East, Africa and Asia
- Terminal 2 - Flights within the EU Schengen Agreement member countries and other European destinations.
- Terminal 3 - Charter, cargo and private flights. Official State visits or significant occasions.
JFK on the other hand...
JFK covers 4,930 acres, including 880 acres in the Central Terminal Area. The airport has more than 30 miles of roadway.
Its longest runway is 14,572-feet (4442 meters)
JFK has seven operating airline terminals, surrounded by a dual ring of peripheral taxiways. More than 125 aircraft gates serve the terminals. Roughly 35,000 people are employed at the airport.
I like Ruzyne much much better. No que for take-off. Seemingly easy Security Process. Friendly people.
