This article is primarily devoted to the topic of Piešťany Airport and the development of air transport in this region. Its aim is to propose new air connections from Piešťany Airport, which would lead to the development of air transport at this airport and to the regional development of its catchment area. It deals in detail with Piešťany airport and its catchment area, which is determined here. The article also highlights and describes in more detail the impact of air transport on the development of the region, specifying various levels of this impact. Some of the results of a questionnaire survey conducted by the author are presented and analysed. Based on these results, the article then provides a proposal for air connections that could be operated from Piešťany Airport in the future. The proposed connections could lead to the development of the region in which the airport is located and to an increase in the rate of use of air transport by its residents.
