According to the report "[b]oth Dubrovnik and Split fared well in July with Dubrovnik recording a 10% passenger increase while Split did even better with a 13% increase." However, the table shows the opposite, Dubrovnik recorded a 13% increase, while Split managed 'only' a 10% increase.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Croatian airports. Does anyone have Slovenian 2011 stats yet? Also what about Montenegrin airports?
Wow, impressive numbers, especially SPU, well done! RJK too, 5000 more passangers for the airport that size/capacity is GREAT! ZAD was expected as Ryanair reduced some routes. I am surprised that FR is not expanding their seasonal network to/from ZAD, I am sure that other German destinations would be popular, Polish too, also Riga, etc. The same for PUY, FR network could be far too bigger. I am sure that OSI - HNN could work all year around.
ReplyDeleteZadar getting into bed with Ryanair hasn't been all that successful this year. What the airport needs to attract is more proper airlines like LH.
ReplyDeleteNice,
ReplyDeleteWill we see more than 1 million passengers in August?
I believe we'll see 1 mil. for sure.
ReplyDeletemy projection for the top 3: SPU: 280.000, DBK: 284.000, LDZA: 255.000
Why there is no statistics for Brač airport?
