Congratulations to all Croatian airports! They do the great job! Looking forward to see numbers for July.

ReplyDeleteOT: Any info how is Wizzair doing on LTN-SKP route?
Where are the OU money going then with such a brilliant results?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all Serbian airports statistics for June
ReplyDeleteYou mean Serbian airport!
ReplyDeleteBelgrade handled 1.335.409 passangers in the first 6 months.
Nis airport's numbers are insignificant.
I have recently flown to Osijek with Ryanair. We were waiting for 40 minutes to pass the passport control. Really bad. Ryanair was already on its way to Hahn while I was still waiting.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't undermine contribution of the airports such as Knjazevac, Kula, Sombor, Vrsac, Nis, Pancevo, Milojkina, etc
To the comment above: yes, I would undermine the airports you mentioned because they are not true airports. There are no commercial flights to or from any of them save for Nis which in the first 6 months handled 9800 passengers (less than 2010). Serbia has only 2 airports: Belgrade and Nis, but only Belgrade really serves as a true international airport. As I understand they are building a 3 Serbian international airport in Kraljevo.
ReplyDeletePRN is aswell Serbia,
