Landing will be hard
Article Abstract:
Aero Vodochody (AV) (Odolena Voda, Czech Republic), aircraft manufacturer, has a chance to survive in case of mass exports, which have been stagnating. The promises of Boeing (US), which were given during the firm's entrance to AV in 1998, have been broken. Boeing set up the joint venture Boeing Ceska (BC) (Czech Republic) with Ceske aerolinie (CSA) (Czech Republic) during its entrance to AV. BC holds a 35% stake in AV in 2001. The remaining stake is held by the state through the National Property Fund of the Czech Republic and the state bank Konsolidacni banka (Czech Republic). AV's cumulative loss has exceeded CEK 8 bil and its prospect is not good. AV saw a positive economic result of nearly CEK 500 mil in 2000, for the first time after a long-term period. AV's economy resulted in red numbers during the last few years.
