Voráček, Václav ; Macháček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (referee)
This thesis examines the development of selected regional airports in the Czech Republic. The first part of this research focuses on the general field of air transportation, and concentrates primarily on airports. More specifically, this thesis describes various aspects of the operations of an airport, paying particular attention to the economic features of airport operations and management. The second central part of this research is devoted to presenting a set of detailed case studies of three regional airports, namely Plzeň -- Líně, Vodochody and České Budějovice. This section of the dissertation describes and analyses the context, strength and weaknesses of each of these airports using a specific evaluation framework. The final part of this thesis concludes by outlining, in terms of the evidence presented, (1) the potential for further development of the three regional airport case studies, and (2) proposals for overcoming specific barriers to further growth.
