    Airports are not only essential transport hubs, but also dynamic centres of economic growth, technological progress and global connectivity. While major international airports dominate global air transport, regional airports play an increasingly important role in the development of individual regions, connecting local economies with foreign markets and contributing to the diversification of air transport. This diploma thesis focuses on the strategic development of the regional Leoš Janáček Ostrava Airport. The main objective is to evaluate its current status in the aviation industry, explore its potential and propose an improved strategic development plan. This should lead to increased capacity, improved airport performance and its long-term sustainability and competitiveness. The theoretical part of the thesis discusses aspects of strategic airport management, including economic, infrastructural and technological factors that influence the operation and development of the airport. The first part of the thesis focuses on a detailed analysis of the position of Leoš Janáček Ostrava Airport within the Czech and Central European aviation market. Using methods such as benchmarking and different types of analysis, the current performance of the airport is evaluated and opportunities for its further development are identified. Based on these findings, strategic development goals are proposed, the aim of which is to achieve maximum use of the airport's potential. The results of this work can serve not only as a strategic plan for Ostrava Airport, but also as a reference model for other regional airports in the Czech Republic, which strive to strengthen their market position and long-term growth in the dynamically changing aviation industry.

    Návrh a vybudovanie simulátora pracoviska riadiaceho letovej prevádzky pre potreby katedry leteckej dopravy
    (University of Žilina, 2024) Kupka, Hugo; Badánik, Benedikt
    The growing popularity of air travel increases the demands on qualified ATC personnel. Despite technological advances offering operational benefits, the ever-increasing need for skilled personnel remains. The diploma thesis deals with the construction of an ATC simulator at the Department of Air Transport. The ATC simulator is an excellent practice-educational aid, among other things, quite fun, for students who are interested in the air traffic control industry or who want to become air traffic controllers. Simulator training enhances their practical skills and prepares them for the demands of industry. Through a study of the global concept of ATC simulators and market analysis, we introduce the reader to the issue of ATC simulators. This is followed by a focus on the analysis of ATC simulators used for personnel training in Slovakia and neighboring countries. After a theoretical introduction to ATC simulators, we define the goals and methodological approaches of the work, which prepare the ground for the following practical part of the work, in which we will focus exclusively on the simulator we built. We will move on to examine in more detail the build, configuration and key roles of the "Escape Light" software provided by Eurocontrol which is our simulation software for ATC simulations. Through detailed explanations and visualizations, we will clarify the functions and features of the individual program parts of the Escape Light software, which are necessary for the effective operation of the simulator. In the final part, we will describe the finished simulator and all the functionalities it has. The creation of the exercise is the necessary conclusion of the construction, and at the same time it is the result of the practical application of the knowledge gained during the construction of the simulator.

    Optimisation of airport airside operations and reduction of aircraft delays
    (University of Žilina, 2024) Plško, Lukáš; Badánik, Benedikt
    The demand for air transport has a rising tendency over the years. This leads to more and more aircraft movements at a given time. This increase may lead to traffic congestions and an increase in aircraft delays. Airports cannot expand indefinitely and therefore they need to look for other options to mitigate the congestions. The main objective of this paper is to increase airport airside efficiency and thus reduce aircraft delays at a chosen airport. Second chapter is dedicated to currently deployed solutions at airports and theories discussed among researchers which may help the cause. Fifth and sixth chapter focuses on airport airside efficiency at the Dubai International Airport. An in-house software solution for tracking ADS-B data is used for these needs. Output of this paper is an analysis of airport operations at the airport and recommendations are made to increase airport airside efficiency and reduction of aircraft delays.

    (University of Žilina, 2023) Buday, Adam; Badánik, Benedikt
    Our study investigates the perception of service quality of 12 airlines by using a mixed-method approach that consists of numerical analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) and qualitative examination of Twitter customer service. Our findings reveal that Twitter is the most popular social media platform in the airline industry, with U.S.-based airlines being the most active. The analysis of customer feedback on Twitter showed noticeable differences between full-service and low-cost carriers, with the former receiving more complaints regarding booking and in-flightservice quality, and the latter receiving more complaints regarding delayed or cancelled flights and poor customer service. Overall, our research provides valuable insights into the significance of social media as a tool for promotional activities and customer service, while highlighting common issues in service quality perception by airline customers.
