Airports across the former Yugoslavia handled a record 25 million passengers in 2017. For the first time, nine airports managed to welcome over one million travellers with Tivat and Podgorica joining the list. Split was the fastest growing among the larger airports, with an annual increase of 23.1%, while Podgorica saw the biggest growth among capital city airports for a second year in a row, boosting its passenger numbers by over 20% on the year before. For the first time, four airports handled over two million travellers in a single year. Compared to 2016, Pula overtook Zadar, while Niš Airport raced ahead of Ohrid and Rijeka. Furthermore, Brač Airport performed better than Banja Luka.

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport maintained its position as the busiest in the former Yugoslavia, welcoming over five million passengers in a single year for the first time. On the other hand, Croatia cemented its lead as the busiest overall market with over 9.6 million passengers handled at nine commercial airports. Zagreb registered over three million travellers for the first time, while Split added over half a million passengers when compared to the year before. In another first, Dubrovnik surpassed the two million mark. Osijek Airport saw strong growth on the back of new flights launched by low cost Eurowings and Wizz Air, making up for the loss of Ryanair's operations. The results come on top of a bumper year for the tourism sector, during which 18.5 million foreign visitors arrived in the country, up 13% on 2016. Rijeka Airport bucked the trend with its figures declining by just over 2%, despite soaring cargo traffic and profits.
| Airport | Passengers 2017 | Passengers 2016 | Change (%) | 2007-17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pula | 595.812 | 436.121 | ▲ 36.5 | ▲ 55.0 |

Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport recovered last year following a disappointing 2016 and surpassed its previous record set a decade ago. Podgorica Airport continued to post strong figures, fuelled by the introduction of new routes from a mix of legacy and low cost airlines. This is despite a slow year for national carrier Montenegro Airlines. In total it saw 537.234 arrivals and 517.908 departures. Sarajevo was the only capital city airport to stay under one million passengers, however, it is expected to surpass the figure this year following 14.2% growth in 2017.
Among the smaller airports in the region, Tuzla Airport welcomed over half a million passengers in 2017, registering its busiest year on record. It saw 535.596 travellers pass through its doors, an increase of 72% on 2016. The growth was fuelled by Wizz Air, which based a second aircraft in the city during the year. Niš Constantine the Great Airport also put in a good performance, recording its busiest year by handling 331.582 passengers, up 165.4% on 2016. During the year, the airport recorded 1.477 aircraft movements, an improvement of 104.6%, and processed 2542.9 tons of cargo, up 29.2%. Despite having no commercial flights, Portorož Airport welcomed over 25.000 primarily leisure travellers visiting the city and its surroundings.
Congratulations to all airports. Impressive growth.
ReplyDelete2018 will be even better.
Delete2019 will be much better then 201i ;)
DeleteVery good year for airport in ex-Yu in general. It will be interesting to see how they will perform in 2018. Anyone have any predictions?
ReplyDeleteSure, top 12.
DeleteBelgrade - 5.66 million
Zagreb - 3.5 million
Split - 3.2 million
Dubrovnik - 2.75 million
Pristina - 2.04 million
Skopje - 2.03 million
Ljubljana - 1.85 million
Tivat - 1.3 million
Podgorica 1.25 million
Sarajevo - 1.04 million
Pula - 720 000
Zadar - 640 000
Tuzla will have over 640,000. I think you have underestimated all airports outside of Croatia.
DeleteSkopje has a good chance of overtaking Pristina this year. So close.
ReplyDeleteI wish, but I don't thing so.
DeleteIt will be - 100%, in next 7 mounts is garanted +12-15%
DeletePristina already has quite a few new routes scheduled for this year.
DeleteRemember that Wizz Air launched most of its new routes from SKP in the second half of 2017 so there will be huge growth between January and June.
DeleteCroatian airports smashed it last year. Really good performance. But what's up with Rijeka?
ReplyDeleteIts location does not help.
DeleteIts location is minus not plus
DeletePula 95 km
Zagreb 130 km
Ljubljana 140 km
Trieste 150 km
Zadar 210 km
Well that's what I said, that its location does not help because it is so close to larger airports.
DeleteTrieste is 150 km from where?
DeleteCollapse of ECA and Limitless Airways affected Rijeka's numbers in 2017.
Deletenot really because Eurowings increased the number of seats to Rijeka. They had more offered seats in 2017. than in 2016. Result of -2% is bad LF. They need more promotions.
DeleteAnonymous 1:32, 150km because Rijeka airport is on Krk and Trieste airport is near Ronchi.
DeleteTrieste airport is exactly 162 km from Krk and 113 km from Rijeka city.
DeleteNice job everyone! Thank you for the data.
ReplyDeleteTGD has been really impressive over the last few years eve if it has Tivat to compete with.
ReplyDeleteI would say Portoroz is most impressive. No commercial flights but it handles 20,000+ passengers.
DeleteYes, surprisingly ahead of Brac.
DeleteBut Brač need flights to Frankfurt, London, Paris, Madrid, Helsinki, Moscow, Istanbul, Sofia, New York, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Tokio... what ever we read here.
DeleteI'm surprised that Ljubljana barely grew compared to 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteWell it just managed to overtake its previous record which was in 2008 so no surprise.
DeleteIt is surprise compering the fact that all other airports had huge increase since than. Especially in surrounding.
DeleteMaribor data???
ReplyDeleteRead the article.
DeleteCroatian Airports will grow to over 10 million Pax this year!
ReplyDeleteZagreb - 3.5 million
DeleteSplit - 3.2 million
Dubrovnik - 2.7 million
Pula - 700 000
Zadar - 640 000
Rijeka - 170 000
Osijek - 50 000
Brac - 30 000
Could surpass 11 million.
All Ex-Yu welcomed less passengers than ATH...
ReplyDeleteOr VIE.
DeleteAll EX-YU airports welcomed more than LHR,LGW,FRA, AMS......... so whats the comparison?
Deleteor BUD (13mil) but whats the point in comparing ...
DeleteTuzla will definitely overtake both Pula and Zadar. They seem to be on a roll.
ReplyDeleteCan someone post top 5 (or 10) airports in terms of cargo movement?
ReplyDeleteI have the top 3:
Delete1. Belgrade
2. Ljubljana
3. Zagreb
Not true, real list is:
Delete1. Ljubljana
2. Belgrade
3. Zagreb
Can we have some actual numbers in stead of mere speculation?
DeleteWhy don't you look at the actual numbers before writing false information anon 9.40?
DeleteBEG (January-October) 15.6 tons
LJU (January-December) 12.3 tons
ZAG (January-December) 11.7 tons
Done trolling now?
INI's cargo growth was impressive as well.
Delete2016: 1.967.808
2017: 2.542.960
Who knows, maybe in 2018 it passes 3.000.000.
How much cargo do SJJ, SKP, TGD and PRN handle?
don't forget Rijeka. They had around 2.150.000 kg in 2017. and they will have even more this year.
DeleteZagreb will do well this year in terms of cargo, 15000 tons all but certain, 2020, we could hit 20 000 tons of cargo.
DeleteInteresting times ahead.
If ZAG plans on handling 20.000 tons then I think LJU should be around 26.000 with all the new opportunities and developments.
Delete@AnonymousJanuary 18, 2018 at 5:10 PM
DeletePerhaps, but I am basing my statement on the fact, Qatar Cargo starts this year, Emirates Cargo started late last year, DHL and number of smaller cargo operators at Zagreb. Add to this, DPD plans to launch Zagreb this year, later on, so the numbers might not be impacting Zagreb's overall numbers till next year.
Fedex and number of other major cargo carriers are looking and making inquiries, very encouraging. This year cargo will grow to over 15000, how much over time will tell.
Next year, 17000+, and 20 000 in 2020.
No idea what Ljubljana got, but good luck with that.
Emirates Cargo has not started noir -dresses. Stick to the facts.
DeleteSince when has EK Cargo operated ZAG flights? What have I missed?
DeleteThey don't.
DeleteEK Cargo on bally of 777-300ER. It is a huge space and had big influence on Zagreb cargo numbers.
DeleteSJJ had 2957 tons of cargo in 2017 which is +3,21% compared to 2016.
Delete@ AnonymousJanuary 19, 2018 at 12:34 AM
DeleteTrue but that's belly cargo on a passenger plane. While the Anon at 6:09 PM made it sound as if Emirates Sky Cargo was flying to Zagreb.
AZ thank you for the SJJ numbers. Is SJJ number one in Bosnia?
DeleteDa se razumjemo, svaki zrakoplov na svakoj liniji prima komercijalni teret.
DeleteDobro, ne na svakoj, ali na svakoj liniji izmedju 2 aerodroma s carinskom sluzbom.
I am impressed how close SPU came to overtaking ZAG. They reduced the difference by some 300.000 passengers! :O
ReplyDeleteYes it's been a crazy year of growth for them. No doubt it will handle 3 million pax in 2018.
DeleteThat is a horrible news for such a small region. I hope that unnatural growth will stop and future pax will go to ZAD.
Delete@9.26
DeleteMore like 3.1 million
Hoce hoce......ali tamo negdje poslje 5 000 000 u SPU
DeleteRepublic of Croatia owns a majority stake in SPU and ZAD, those two airports being close and serving a complementary tourism-oriented area. Many tourists landing at SPU go towards Zadar region being their destination. A sensible policy would be to manage both airports in a coordinated fashion so that both receive their share of flights. Nowadays the entire ZAD airport is being left to decay although it has better predispositions for growth than SPU. Isn't that crazy?
DeleteSplit će svakako rasti iduće godine brže od Zagreba. No, Split ima ozbiljno ograničenje premalog terminala (ogromna ograničenja petkom, subotom i nedjeljom kada je najveća potražnja, a posebno subotom), premalo parking pozicija, nedostatka rulnice (avioni se moraju okretati na pisti što smanjuje protočnost).
DeleteBitno povećanje prometa koje je najavljeno sa Brača i Mostara iduće godine otet će par desetaka tisuća putnika Splitu (do sada su putnici za ovo područje putovali isključivo iz Splita, a broj linija iz ova dva grada je bio zanemariv, tek pokoji charter), a ukoliko Zadar i Dubrovnik nastave ovako jaku ekspanziju i oni će umanjiti rast Splita (Zadar je konkurentan na potezu do Šibenika, a Dubrovnik do Ploča).
If there are space restrictions in SPU then airlines that send the A319 are more than welcome to start sending their A320 or A321.
DeleteNo, most people from Kastela go South. Not only to Split, but particularly to the long and stretchy coast approx. until Ploce/Neum. Zadar airport in the North is much closer than Dubrovnik airport in the South.
DeletePredvidjam ovakav trend rasta do 2020.
ReplyDeleteZatim uporavanje i mozebitnu stagnaciju do 2026.
Grah, tarot ili kristalna kugla? Možda ti se Bog obrača svaki dan u snu?

DeleteZadar has grown significantly in ten years.
ReplyDeleteMix of Ryanair, Eurowings and Easyjet.
DeleteMontenegro has 7x smaller population than BiH, yet Sarajevo is still below 1 million. Sramota.
ReplyDeleteKad bi Miljacka bila Jadran ...
DeleteBelgrade has 4 x as number of Split residents but still just 90% more passengers. Sramota.
DeleteNot to compare Montenegro and BiH as you can not compare Split and Belgrade because of tourism.
Kad bi Jadran bio London ...
DeleteKad bi London bio Atlanta ...
DeleteLondon is way bigger than Atlanta ;) ATL one airport with 105Mio Pax. London 6 Airport with 170Mio Pax.
DeleteRegarding Croatian airports, you mustn't calculate total number of passengers by summing up figures of all Croatian airports, because they have extensive domestic traffic. Thus, a passenger on domestic flight is counted two times. It's unreasonable.
ReplyDeleteSta pricas ti?
DeleteSvaki putnik, bez obzira od kuda doletio se racuna i u dolasku i u odlasku.
Sad jasnije?
It's the same with transfer passengers at any airport. They are counted twice. Nothing wrong with that.
DeleteA sto, domaci promet se ne bi trebao racunati po tebi?

DeleteBrac ne moze za sada doseci tu brojku jer jos uvijek eurowings nije potvrdio svoj dolazak,destinacije pa tako ni broj rotacija i planirano vrijeme letenja...prema trenutno povrdenim letovima brac bi mogao imati izmedu 32i 35000 putnika...
DeleteNaravno ova brojka se mijenja ako bude potvrden eurowings.i jos koja destinacija iz italije a mozda i koja nova kompanija....
DBV will never pass the 3mil in 2018
DeleteAko gledas najave onda si odmah u startu promasio brojke za Podgoricu i Tivat (prema trenutnim najavama rast od 15% je ocekivan).
Deletethe schedules not only include additional and new flights, but also cuts and cancellations. First, the new flights have to replace the canceled flights to see the real growth. Pula and Zadar are too positive. Rather, Pula will reach the 700t as Zadar
DeleteGotta love these baba manga prediction posts.
DeleteBEG and INI will do even better in 2018 especially since the upward tourism trend is likely to continue. Serbia has invested a lot of money and effort into promoting itself as a popular tourist destination. It seems that these efforts are paying off and that Serbia is seeing double digit growth in some markets.
ReplyDeleteHere are some numbers for the first 11 months of 2017:
- Serbia had 2.864.373 tourists in the period which is 13% more than last year.
- Belgrade was visited by 953.945 tourists, growth of 14%.
- Southern Serbia had 1.450.005 tourists or 12% more.
- 490.576 tourists went to the spas where around half (200.631) ended up going to Vrnjacka Banja. Spa tourism grew by some 9% in the first eleven month.
- 510.878 tourists went to the mountains, up by 6%. Most popular destination was Zlatibor with 181.285 visitors, up by 9%. November visits to Zlatibor jumped by 17%.
Kopaonik was visited by 115.369 visitors, up by 12%.
- Nis is interesting as its tourist numbers grew by 28% to 98.296 in the first eleven months. I guess this growth is thanks to the activation of INI and the arrival of LX, W6 and FR. So much for the mantra that LCCs don't have any positive effect.
- Another city with impressive growth is Krusevac which saw 1.683 tourists (+51%) in November while in the first 11 months it had 23.697 visitors or some 21% more than last year.
As for foreign visitors, here are some markets that saw the biggest growth:
- Austria, 30.985, +12%
- Belgium, 11.492, +43%
- Greece, 57.581, +11%
- Italy, 46.380, +6%
- Germany, 73.286, +21%
- Poland, 44.434, +31%
- Romania, 61.390, +25%
- Russia, 47.532, +15%
- Slovenia, 70.361, +7%
- Turkey, 95.665, +20%
- UK, 30.391, +14%
- France, 27.776, +11%
- Netherlands, 20.079, +18%
- Croatia, 74.962, +10%
- Montenegro, 73.163, +2%
- Switzerland, 24.000, +12%
- USA, 32.623, +26%
- Israel, 39.081, +317%
- China, 48.894, +278%
November growth:
China - 3.690 +343%
Turkey - 4.490 +15%
What's interesting is that Serbia is not only promoting Belgrade but other parts of the country as well. This is extremely important and the growth in mountain tourism goes to show the important role airports such as KVO can play in the future.
good, good.
Deleteunfortunately, i don't think we have something spectacular to offer, but there is potential. especially with city break tourism
WOW! Thanks for the numbers!! Turkey is going crazy, no wonder TK is going to send their widebody. Does Serbia have more Turkish tourists than Bosnia?
DeletePetar,
DeleteWhat do you mean that we don't have something spectacular to show? I guess you are the one who needs to travel around Serbia a bit.
Not only do we have Medieval cultural heritage but also have natural wealth in the form of spas and mountain tourism. Spa tourism grew by 9% meaning that it's working.
If Vrnjacka Banja keeps on growing then there will definitely be a reason to activate KVO.
Some of these numbers are impressive. I wonder if Transavia contributed to the growth of Dutch tourism?
DeleteUSA is on fire! I am sure that JU 501 is bringing many Americans who are touring Europe. That must be the reasons why they are adding 6th flight in summer.
DeleteKrusevac is only 70 km from Nis. Could they be profiting from the INI effect?
DeleteIt's strange how I don't see Bulgaria in the list while you can see Bulgarians everywhere in Southern Serbia.
DeleteThere were close to 80.000 Bulgarians but their growth was around 1% in the 11 months. Around 15% more in November though.
DeleteSo next year Serbia might welcome between 3 and 3.5 million tourists? Not bad at all.
Delete@Anonymous 10:13AM Not so sure the sixth weekly JU 501 is happening if Toronto does not happen. And ExYu recently reported that Toronto is unlikely. JU are too smart to try to pull six weekly with only one plane -- maintenance is very important for reliability.
DeleteThe sixth weekly flight to New York is happening and is on sale for over a month noe. That had nothing to do with a second plane.
DeleteAlso it says JU gave up on Toronto plans in December. It probably means that when they made that decision they increased JFK to 6 weekly.
DeleteThere was some schedule reshuffling and that's how we got the sixth flight. The additional flight will also help fill many regional routes, especially the ones to Albania and Greece!
Delete1 million foreign visitors and 1.9 million domestic visitors.
DeleteZagreb had 1.05 million foreign visitors and 256 000 domestic visitors.
No data for Ljubljana, but they are around 700 000 foreign visitors and about 100 000 domestic. Slovenia had over ~3.6 million foreign visitors and ~800 000 domestic.
Croatia over 18.5 million and 1,7 million were domestic. This year, Croatia expects around 20.5 million visitors, 19 million foreign visitors. Tourist revenue for 2017 are expected to be around €11.2 billion, 2018 at least 10% more.
So?

ReplyDeleteIt is real beauty! :)
Deletewhoa! great figures. besides rijeka & lošinj these everybody is growing at least 8%
ReplyDeletein one year ex-yu added 3,85mil pax, or 16% on 2016.

Well done!
DeleteNice work from all airports. I'm especially happy to see small secondary airports growing.
ReplyDeleteΒravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteBravo Srbija!
ReplyDeleteSarajevo will reach 1 million for sure this year. And Tuzla is doing amazing as well. Who would have thought.
ReplyDeleteTZL has been an incredible success story.
DeleteJust imagine what would happen if ZAG had a low cost airline based there.
ReplyDeleteI assume BEG will reach around 5.7-5.8 in 2018.
ReplyDeleteMost likely. However it might be more as Wizz Air didn't bring its second A320 until late May and Hainan started flying only in September.
DeleteThere are also a few airlines increasing either frequencies or capacity:
DeleteTransavia, Flydubai, Qatar Airways, LOT, TAROM, Aegean, Turkish Airlines, Vueling, Wizz Air...
I am especially happy about Tarom. Their schedule is extremely business friendly and next summer they will operate double daily flights on working days with the exception of Monday.
DeleteBEG will have substantial growth in May because of Final 4 Euroleague tournament which is being held in Belgrade.
DeleteCongrats, especially to SPU!
ReplyDeleteWell done Nis. There are rumors that the government with Vinci will cap INI's growth to one million passengers per year. Is this true?
ReplyDeleteThere are no ways in which they can do that because any airline that wishes to fly into INI from the EU is allowed to do so. The government has no way to stop them.
DeleteBut penalties for the State are possible for every passager, once the one million cap is passed.
DeleteBy the way, does anyone know when the installation of ILS will begin at INI?
ILS installation is almost completed. According to NIs Airport director last week it will be switched on in February or early March.
DeleteWhy would the government limit INI? It would be political suicide for them especially now when the airport is booming.
Deletethank you, I assume it's a CAT I ?
DeleteAnd the control tower? Has the construction began?
https://www.juznevesti.com/Drushtvo/Dozvola-drzave-niskom-aerodromu-da-se-razvija-najgori-primer-centralizma.sr.html
DeleteThe biggest problem was that INI was disillusioned. They were desperately waiting on JU and other legacies to fly there while they completely ignored FR and W6.
DeleteSo once they changed their attitude things started to improve for them.
I am still waiting for Vucic to allow Wizz Air to launch VIE-BEG. lol
Ljubljana will be booming this year with 6 new routes from Adria (7 if you include Kiev which started in October 2017) + a lot of increases in frequencies.
ReplyDeleteIf Adria remains alive with increasing fuel costs :D
DeleteWe will see about that. At the moment still far behind the plan.
DeleteFar? They are adding two CRJ9 for now.
Delete@anon 12.08 pm: do you know which frequencies will increase?
DeleteThey listed them in this article
Deletehttp://www.exyuaviation.com/2017/12/adria-to-further-grow-operations-in-2018.html
But 6 Saab 2000 they planed for those new flights were confiscated and are not in Adria fleet any more.
DeleteWhat will be with Air Serbia flight to Split in 2018? There is nothing shown on Air Serbia web site. Flights for DBV and PUY are bookable. What's wrong with Split?
ReplyDeleteFlights are in the system.
DeleteAir Serbia will operate six weekly to SPU next summer. Five flights will be operated by the A319 and a single weekly with the Atr72.
Delete13.35-14.35 // 15.20-16.15
OU will operate three weekly flights like last year.
ASL please, please, please fly to ZAD!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that in 2018 we finally see BNX get its act together. Also Mostar will grow a lot this year with new flights from Eurowings and Croatia Airlines to Zagreb so finally they will end their poor performance.
ReplyDeleteBrač extending its runway was an excellent investment. The numbers speak for themselves.
ReplyDelete+1 Real effects of that will be seen this year :)
DeleteBut eurowings still not confirm...
DeleteAnd next work on longer runway need be finished at 2020/1
I do not believe that Eurowing's decision depends on the length of the runway. Otherwise, Eurowings would not have listed Brac as one of the next possible destinations in the last voting
DeleteIt is not related to the runway and like it was written here they plan to fly from 3 cities to Brac BUT it is not certain it will happen because they have big issues over incorporating parts of Air Berlin. That's why they did not start Ljubljana and have not announced new flights to Osijek like they said they would.
DeleteI rather suspect that it is due to missing aircraft. Through the Air Berlin bankruptcy Eurowings had to take over most of the routes, as well as introduce new routes. But it fails due to lack of capacity
Deleteyup, it's true, they really missing more aircraft and they are planning to lease some from Lufthansa! They were planning to have more aircraft's from NIKI, but BA made problems for them. So yeah, they are searching for more planes.
