    Baggage policy of European airlines
    (University of Zilina, 2022) Kožušník, Jozef
    The purpose of this article is to research the baggage policy of European airlines. Its main objective is to identify groups of European airlines based on the used baggage policy and to compare the baggage policies of selected European air carriers in terms of cost-effectiveness for a passenger. The current state of baggage policy research, focusing mainly on the United States, has highlighted the lack of comprehensive research on European air carriers' baggage policies. Therefore, the actual research in this paper examines European airlines' carry-on and checked baggage policies and their charging. It then uses two model cases to compare the baggage policies of selected airlines in terms of cost-effectiveness for the passenger and examines the pricing applied to baggage fees. The research results in the determination of the most advantageous booking method with respect to baggage fees. Simultaneously, three groups of European airlines were identified according to the baggage policy used

    Specification of ultralight aircraft maintenance standardisation
    (University of Zilina, 2022) Maliňák, Ivan; Škultéty, Filip
    The exact definition of an Ultralight Aircraft is still defined very differently from country to country. Internationally, there are different Ultralight Aircraft (UL) classes with nationally varying certification regulations. Accordingly, the term Ultralight Aircraft is used colloquially more or less comprehensively for Very Light Aircraft or Light Sport Aircraft. However, the latter are subject to much stricter certification and maintenance regulations. This work aims to compare the current legal situation in the European Union countries, extract the best practices, and create a proposal of how a new “state zero” should define the laws and regulations to create the best possible environment for UL maintenance. This thesis is written based on information and directions published on the websites of the responsible authorities of the respective countries, as well as communication with these authorities and first-hand knowledge obtained by conducting numerous interviews with people in the field of UL maintenance. The results indicate how different each country regulates the maintenance and continuing airworthiness of ULs and how important a harmonized regulation would be. It is especially important in order to have clarity as with larger aircraft and thus also to prevent numerous accidents and hazardous situations in the future.
