What about BEG-Airport figures? Does anyone know what is going on there?
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for OSI!! Top of the list again... until you realise how paltry the numbers they're working off actually are.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, are these numbers justified *alone* without looking at aircraft movements (and their subsequent and/or matching stats) and cargo numbers, which would naturally be lower during economic crisis?
Osijek soon will see its figures boosting with the arrival of Ryanair :-)
ReplyDeleteSamo 26 putnika za Rijeku? To je vjerojatno bila posada sa nekog cargo aviona :)
ReplyDeleteWOW this is just bad!! I would have assumed that by ow they would have recorded an increase!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that Belgrade is posotive this month! But lets wait and see
Who flew from/to Osijek in february when there is no "officially" any flights form there during winter?!
ReplyDeleteAs anonymous said before, probably some random passengers from cargo airplanes :)
ReplyDeleteI think so, and I keep repeting that Osijek could do with all year around flights, Croatia Airlines or Ryanair or Germanwings could definitely do that!
