Prague Aviation Museum, Kbely (Letecké Muzeum Kbely) is a major aviation museum located at Prague’s original airport at Kbely, 8 km (5.0 mi) north-east of the town centre near Route 10.
Kbely was the first Czechoslovak military airfield, and during the inter-war period was the venue for several major public air shows. The first scheduled flight operated by CSA Czechoslovak Airlines (now CSA Czech Airlines) departed from Kbely for Bratislava in October 1923. Kbely airfield is not now used as a front line Czech Air Force base, but it is utilised by military transport aircraft of the Czech Air Force, and the VIP aircraft which transport Czech politicians.
