Václav Havel Airport Prague is a low-elevation field at 1,247 ft (380 m), positioned at 50.1009° N, 14.2599° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 12,189 ft / 3,715 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Prague (CEST, UTC+02:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Řepy is the closest retained city-time anchor at 4.4 km. KLV Karlovy Vary is the closest retained airport alternative at 96 km.
PRG is compared with KLV Karlovy Vary at 96 km, PED Pardubice at 106 km inside the retained Czechia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
PRG-KLV Karlovy Vary: 96 km, about 57m, +0h. PRG-PED Pardubice: 106 km, about 58m, +0h. PRG-DRS Dresden: 120 km, about 59m, +0h. PRG-WRO Wrocław: 216 km, about 1h 6m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies PRG as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
PRG (LKPR) is a low-elevation field at 1,247 ft (380 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
PRG sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
PRG's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 12,189 ft / 3,715 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (2).
Letiště Praha is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for PRG.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at prg.aero, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
PRG uses Europe/Prague (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Václav Havel Airport Prague is about 12 km from central Prague; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
KLV Karlovy Vary is the closest retained alternate at 96 km, time difference +0h.
prg.aero is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place PRG inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
PRG ranks #3 in the curated Czechia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 3 airports.
PRG shares Europe/Prague with KLV Karlovy Vary CZ · PED Pardubice CZ. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
PRG is 1,247 ft (380 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include BKO 1,247 ft (380 m) (0 ft delta) · KRT 1,265 ft (386 m) (18 ft delta) · ALP 1,276 ft (389 m) (29 ft delta) · STR 1,276 ft (389 m) (29 ft delta) · MTY 1,278 ft (390 m) (31 ft delta).
