The article's main purpose is to describe the proposed Methodology, which aims to present an approach to expressing the value of the air transport industry in the Czech Republic. This approach methodically divides the primary and secondary effects and finds metrics based on which the value of the air transport can be quantified. The proposed approach is based on equivalent methodological materials by ICAO, FAA, and other organizations describing and analyzing the value of air transports. The calculations are based on open data sources as well as data that are available by request. The methodology also proposes collecting new data to complete the picture of the value of air transport.

The initial motivation for studying and researching air transport socio-economic impacts is quantifying the value that air transport brings to the Czech Republic. The main challenge is to explore a methodology that would describe the macroeconomic and microeconomic relations within the Air transport industry. These relations will define the directions of the market forces flow and thus the Czech Republic’s value. The authors of the paper use an approach that follows methods and standards for collecting and processing economic and statistical data introduced by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Eurostat, and the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO). The authors incorporate economic definitions and standards published by the United Nations under the World Trade Organization (UNWTO) and other accounting and statistical entities, which results in creating a methodical description of chosen relations. The methodical description leads to the quantification of the value. In a practical sense, it is a matter of determining the origin of the data sets according to which the selected relations will be defined. The paper focuses on the expression of Air transport’s primary and secondary effects and the description of the proposals, which will be part of the methodology.

This article presents a project proposal that was created in response to a competitive call from the Czech research support agency in the area of Increasing the Resilience of Society to Disinformation. We consider the most effective strategy for achieving this goal to be accessible interdisciplinary education – knowledge shared by the so-called Opposite Side Method. The idea uses the acronym INEDCO (INterdisciplinary EDucation COncept). It is an innovative form of education for the general public through the offer of knowledge. This set of knowledge will provide the society with a level of knowledge that eliminates/minimizes the tendency to believe delusions. The basic idea is elaborated in the form of a design structure, the second step is the methodology, and the third stage is the implementation of the project in the field of aviation. This proposal has a high potential to create a top team of researchers and produce applicable results in the long run. The essence of the project is interdisciplinarity and the collaboration of several universities at national as well as international level is essential to achieve the objectives. The concept of a shared and freely accessible INEDCO education to be the targeted opposite to the disinformation scene originated at the Department of Air Transport. Aviation is one of the fields that is a medium of hoaxes. As an institution with technical, technological, and methodological education in a very complex and difficult sector, we see the need to contribute to improving the level of knowledge and pacifying society through education.
