Letňany is a cadastral area of Prague , Czech Republic . It was founded in 1307, and became part of Prague in 1968. It has been part of Prague 18 since 2001, having previously been in the local government district of Prague-Letňany, and it has its own cadastral area (also called "Prague 18").

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 .
