Radomír Lašák resigned as Chairman of the Board of Prague Airport after serving for less than three months. While the Ministry of Finance attributed his departure to personal reasons, the resignation occurred amid significant political and internal scrutiny.

Opposition politicians criticized the short tenure as a sign of government incompetence and irresponsible infrastructure management. During his brief leadership, several key directors departed, and a decision was made to increase departing passenger fees by six percent.

Subsequent reports indicated that Lašák’s exit followed internal conflicts regarding major financial decisions. He had reportedly resisted signing five-year concessions for aviation fuel and infrastructure worth approximately 45 billion CZK without a thorough review. Furthermore, Lašák had initiated a forensic audit that uncovered irregularities in procurement. Preliminary findings suggested that between 2022 and July 2024, the airport awarded 267 contracts worth roughly 780 million CZK without competitive tenders, while other contracts totaling 3.37 billion CZK involved only a single bidder or direct supplier selection. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová confirmed that the forensic audit has been suspended pending an evaluation of its first phase.
