ČSA a trh letecké dopravy

In this thesis I am trying to solve a problem with aviation and the national carrier Czech Airlines. The aim of this paper is to provide a market analysis in the field of air transport with a focus on European companies. Air transport is an important part of national economies, but in these times a lot of national carriers are facing many problems. Czech Airlines as a government owned company is not an exception and it has found it necessary to enact restructuring actions. The theoretical part provides information about aviation history, types of airlines, and alliances in aviation, regulation and deregulation in air transport. The practical part then provides with regression analysis an evaluation of the knowledge from the theoretical part and shows how individual parameters of airlines influence labour productivity. Across the models there are decreasing returns of labour and increasing returns of capital. The models show the inappropriateness of state ownership, the benefit of membership in airline alliances and the effectiveness of low cost airlines.
