The Czech Republic is rightfully considered one of the founders passenger aviation in Europe, because first civil airport Prague - Kbely was opened here in 1919, almost a century ago. But by the beginning of the 30s. he ceased to cope with the growing passenger traffic, so the management decided to build a second air terminal - in Ruzyne. It was commissioned in 1937 and received pan-European recognition in the same year. On World Exhibition in Paris, he received a gold medal for technical and architectural solutions in the design and construction of an airline complex. The laurels went to the Czech engineer A. Benes, who created the project for this airport in Prague.

After World War II, interest in Prague grew, and passenger traffic at the airports of the Czech capital increased. After the Czech Republic was admitted to the EU in 2004, a large-scale reconstruction and modernization was carried out in Ruzyn, which allowed it to win the highest award of the World Airport Awards as the best airport in Eastern and Central Europe in 2007.

In 2012, the government decided to assign the name of the first president of the independent Czech Republic, Vaclav Havel, to the country's air gates.
