Prague Airport will now be named Václav Havel

On the eve of the international airport "Ruzine" in the Czech capital Prague was renamed in honor of the first President of the country Vaclav Havel. The decision was made after consideration of the relevant petition, signed by more than 82,000 Czechs. The ceremony of renaming the airport coincided with the 76th anniversary of the birth of Vaclav Havel.

In 2007, Prague Airport was recognized as the best airport in Central and Eastern Europe.
