Airport Košice is in economic terms a source of income and has also an indirect impact on creation of working positions. The airport also plays an important role in the development of active foreign tourism which generates new sources of revenue in many sectors of tourism. Article discusses the factors that have caused a reduction in the number of passengers, especially due to the departure of low cost company SkyEurope Airlines, a. s. and also in the same period due to the impact of the global financial and economic recession, which was reflected in operating and economic results of Airport Košice.
