BRNO AIRPORT must first thoroughly review the analysis and then it will be ready to continue negotiations with the South Moravian Region on the conclusions drawn from the document. The goal of BRNO AIRPORT is to maintain its excellent relationship with its contractual partner, the South Moravian Region, and in order to improve this cooperation, the company's management is prepared to begin negotiations on possible changes to the contractual relationship that would lead to further increases in the effectiveness of mutual cooperation. The main interest of both entities is the same, namely to ensure the long-term stable development of air accessibility in the South Moravian Region. Brno-Tuřany International Airport is the second largest airport in the Czech Republic, handling nearly 500,000 passengers annually. Brno Airport has thus managed to maintain passenger interest in both regular and charter passenger transport. Regular flights take passengers to London, Eindhoven, and Munich. Charter flights, which are mainly a summer season affair, connect Brno primarily with holiday destinations. The most popular flights are to Antalya (Turkey), Burgas (Bulgaria), and Heraklion (Greece). Last year, irregular flights accounted for 58% of traffic at Brno Airport, while regular transport accounted for 42%.
Since mid-2002, Brno-Tuřany Airport has been operated by LETIŠTĚ BRNO a.s. In 2004, based on a law, Brno-Tuřany Airport, including the valid contractual relationship, was transferred to the South Moravian Region, and the South Moravian Region thus became the lessor of Brno Airport by law. Between mid-2004 and 2015, the number of passengers transported increased 2.7 times – from 170,000 to 460,000. Brno Airport is also a major employer in the region. The airport operator itself employs approximately 150 mainly secondary school and university graduates, and the airport generates a total of around 450 jobs in the primary and secondary sectors.
