Official App
Prague Airport currently offers the PRG LIVE app, which provides up-to-date flight information. With this app, you can view the airport’s operations in real time from a bird’s eye view, see actual aircraft types, and experience a simulation of a typical day at the airport. In addition, the app displays detailed terminal buildings, hangars, parking houses, and even the airport’s fire station. It is primarily aimed at passengers and visitors who want to follow the airport live in augmented reality (AR).
Download PRG LIVE for Android | Download PRG LIVE for iOS
Passengers and visitors only need to download the Prague Airport LIVE app available for iOS and Android. The airport Wi‑Fi network is free for users. Users can also enjoy the experience from home, where they can explore an augmented reality simulation of normal operations at Václav Havel Airport Prague, although it will no longer provide real‑time data.
However, if you need a specialized flight tracking app to easily monitor real‑time departures, arrivals, gate assignments, delays, and terminal maps, downloading a third‑party flight‑tracking application might be a better option.
