Rozvojové aspekty regionálních letišť

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the evaluation of the developmental aspects of regional airports in a wider geopolitical space of Central Europe. It is defined by a total of nine States, which are generally divided into Alpine countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and Liechtenstein) and the Visegrad Four (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland). Individual airports are evaluated in terms of the effects of runway parameters, population of the relevant settlement unit (city or agglomeration where the airport is located), position relative to the city center and its transport connectivity in relation to 2009–2013 statistical data, which map the number of passenger movements, the number of aircraft movements (takeoffs and landings) and the amount of cargo movements in tonnes. The dissertation aims to analyse the parameters of the selected airports, statistically evaluate the relationships and dependencies between the various parts of the phenomena being studied, describe the resulting most important developmental aspects and propose applications useful for regional airports in the Czech Republic.
