Letňany was the site of the aircraft industry (Avia and Letov), but as the industry gradually declined Letňany became a mostly residential district. There are two airports – the non-public international[citation needed] Letňany airport and Kbely military airport.
Nearby Letňany metro station opened in May 2008, on the new extension of Line C on the Prague Metro.
