Nature of Work:

Náměšť nad Oslavou Airport is located in the center of the Czech Republic, approximately 50 km west of Brno. Since the late 1950s, it has served as a military airfield, initially as a fighter base, and currently also as a base for Mi-35 assault helicopters and Mi-171 transport helicopters. The conducted aviation operations are associated with increased noise emissions, leading to conflicts with the local communities in the nearby towns of Náměšť nad Oslavou and Sedlec.
