NEWS FLASH
Adria Airways and Paderborn Airport, in western Germany, are set to officially announce the opening of the Slovenian carrier's new base in the city in the coming days. In a statement to EX-YU Aviation News, Paderborn Airport said, "Adria Airways plans to operate flights from Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport to Zurich, Vienna and London in its summer timetable. The final details are currently being clarified, so we will probably be able to announce further information in the next few days". The airline is expected to base a fifty-seat Saab 2000 turboprop in the German city. Outside of Ljubljana, Adria has an aircraft stationed in Pristina. Last year, it closed down its base in Lodz in Poland. Over the past few years it has also considered stationing aircraft in Klagenfurt in Austria, as well as Verona, Bratislava and Bern.
Interesting, they chose the richest regions in Europe.
ReplyDeleteSmart move. They probably got a good deal with the airport and they are going for high paying business passengers who would pay extra to fly from the closest airport.
DeleteIs it?
DeleteThat would be Switzerland or Norway rather...
DeleteTime will tell...
DeleteAko je Condor obustavio sezonske linije s tog aerodroma....
DeleteI am so happy. Finally I can fly to my business meetings from Vienna to lippstadt and not waste time transferring in Munich. This is amazing!
DeleteThis is going to be interesting as it is now confirmed that Saabs are not coming.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I heard the same thing. Apparently, a Turkish company bought them.
DeleteWell Adria is advertising for jobs on the Saabs and Saabs are still in the system.
DeleteNobady ever said Adria is buying saabs. They are going to lease it from the buyer

DeleteCan anyone explain me why Adria desperately wants to open a base outside of Slovenia? I have read previously that they had opened many bases in Poland/ Germany and all of them completely failed.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
They didn fail. They got money from the airports for flying, when money stoped comming they close.
DeleteThanks for the explanation.
DeleteSo they act as Ryanair at many airport, if I got it right. I see nothing sustainable there, if you fly from somewhere only because you get paid for that...
