The first part of the paper contains an overview of scientific research regarding air navigation service providers commercialization. The second part of the paper analyses the portfolio of DFS services with a focus on both regulated and commercial segments.

The paper also studies revenues structure of whole DFS group with focus on revenues from commercial activities.
