The Czech Republic’s Prague Airport and Incheon International Airport (IIAC) in South Korea have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen their international partnership.
The latest MoU comes after the signing of an original agreement in 2013, which outlined particular areas in which the exchange of information and experience will take place.

Prague Airport board of directors chairman Vaclav Rehor said: “We can appreciate that, thanks to its busy operations and ongoing development, in many areas, Incheon International Airport is more technologically advanced than our airport.
“We believe that alongside the memorandum renewal, we will also revitalise our relationship. During the visit of Incheon Airport management, we started discussing current issues, such as airport modernisation and digitalisation of airport signages.
“We have searched for modern ways of technologically incorporating other languages spoken by large groups of passengers in order to facilitate the targeted use of airport signage for particular flights. I believe that this will become one of our joint projects.”
Both partners have agreed to focus primarily on operational safety, development of new products and services for passengers, customer experience and airport infrastructure improvements, as well as sustainable growth.
