| Slovak airports have unused potential |
| Bratislava, 15.12.2018 |

| But several obstacles prevent their growth.
years of struggle, the Transport Ministry is expected to receive more funds from the state budget to support the development of Slovakia’s aviation, which is currently facing several problems.
The draft state budget for 2019 suggests that the ministry will be able to invest €6 million in the sector, up from €1 million allocated in the previous years.
“When defining the amount, we proceeded from the already provided subsidies and the requests of airport companies, with the aim of supporting not only our biggest airports in Bratislava and Košice, but also the operation of smaller airports in Piešťany, Poprad, Sliač and Žilina,” the ministry’s spokesperson Karolína Ducká told The Slovak Spectator.
As part of the investments, the ministry wants to use the money to meet new requirements arising from EU regulations and install modern security devices such as metal detectors, an X-ray device and explosive detection system. It is also necessary to adapt to the increasing number of passenger.
“This is why it is necessary to secure safe operation and carry out more security checks of passengers, luggage, shipments and cargo,” Ducká added.
However, observers point to several other problems that currently prevent the airports in Slovakia from further development.
“The principal problem is that no Slovak government has comprehensively dealt with air transport,” Antonín Kazda from the Air Transport Department of Žilina University told The Slovak Spectator. “Slovakia lacks any strategy for air transport development.”
