AB This paper describes the problems related to the integration of air and railway transport, which require building railway connections to hub airports, especially networks of long distance railways and high-speed tracks that link large cities with airport terminals. It presents and analyzes some solutions that have been implemented in Europe and focuses on a similar project which is currently being prepared in the Czech Republic at the dynamically growing international airport in Prague. For the final decision making process concerning the possibilities of a rail connection between Prague city and its airport a comprehensive comparative study, including risk analysis, was processed by the Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Transportation Sciences.
