“…Overall, it is difficult to determine the most important conditions that are the basic variables in regional airport research. There are also several definitions of regional airports, which are different, such as e.g., Pauwels et al in 2024 states that a regional airport is an airport that serves less than 10 million workload units on mainly point-to-point destinations and short-to-medium haul flights for civil purposes [48], which is in contradiction with EU and Commission legislation Regulation (EU) 2017/1084 of June 2017 amending Regulation (EU) No. 651/2014 as regards aid for port and airport infrastructure, which we used as fundamental, since our research focuses on regional airports in the EU.…”

This paper delves into regional airport system economics in Central Europe, with a particular focus on Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Hungary, and Croatia. This research aimed to identify key indicators that shape optimal business models for regional airport systems by analyzing data from 24 airports between 2016 and 2019. Through cluster analysis, airports were categorized based on performance metrics, economic indicators, and ownership structures. The findings reveal distinct groupings among regional airports and shed light on critical factors influencing their operational and financial dynamics. By offering insights into the relationships between airport system characteristics and business model effectiveness, this paper aimed to provide valuable guidance for stakeholders, policymakers, and airport management teams. It facilitates informed decision-making and strategic planning for sustainable aviation infrastructure development in the region.
