Great! Hope Easy will add new destinations too.
DeleteHmm slower growth than ZAG, quite disappointing.
ReplyDeleteWhy always comparing to ZAG?
DeleteSame as comparing INI and SKP. Both airports are close.
DeleteComparing INI and SKP? Huh?
DeleteWhy with ZAG? U need to compete with the good ;-)
DeleteSo top 3 so far:
ReplyDelete1. BEG - 631.419 (+3%)
2. ZAG - 361.934 (+12%)
3. LJU - 199.588 (+11%)
Shame BEG is stagnating. It could have reached a million by the end of March.
DeleteSKP is at 3 with 275k followed by PRN at 4. with 7-10k less
DeleteSo LJU is seriously narrowing the gap with ZAG. Impressive figures indeed!
DeleteI have a feeling LJU will overtake SKP this year without a problem. They are going to have a really busy spring and summer.
DeleteNarrowing the gap? Where, sweety?
DeleteJust above someone asked why comparing LJU to ZAG, but here we have theories on narrowing the gap.
DeleteSo does it mean that the difference between SKP and ZAG is less than 100.000 passengers?
DeleteSeems like SKP is far greater threat to ZAG than LJU ever will be.
DeleteHow is the airport that is 600 km away - a threat?
DeleteSo flights to london 2times a day and on some days even 3flight
ReplyDeleteAnd 13 fligts to waw?
It's unbelievable how many flights to LON they have especially on LCCs while ZAG goes down now that OU sold their slots.
DeleteI think many Croats are searching for alternatives to London, during summer this maybe coastal airports with lcc's flying to London like Pula, Zadar, Split. But during winter they are most likely flying from Budapest, Ljubljana, Belgrade and even Timisoara (ofcourse depending where in Croatia they are from)
DeleteAre EasyJet’s flight that full even in winter?
ReplyDeleteThey are
DeleteDakle, razlika između ZAG i LJU se povećava...
ReplyDeleteGdje su sada svi oni koji govore o smanjenju razlike ?
It's reduced from 170 to 162
Deletewell that would be quite interesting mathematically, as the percentage growth of ZAG is 12% of LJU 11% and ZAG has the higher base.
DeleteSome more statistics to make the comparisons more interesting:
ReplyDeleteCapacity increase in first two months of 2018 (according to OAG schedule):
BEG: 4.3%
ZAG: 10%
LJU: 16%
That means the load factors decreased in BEG and LJU, while there was an increase in ZAG. And that also explains the recent feedback we read regarding Adria's cancellations (oversupply in LJU market).
oversupply in LJU??
Deleteadria dosen't have planes and only they are cancelling flight
What we need to notice as well is that BEG had 1% more movement but 3% more passengers.
DeleteAirlines basically added seats, not flights.
LO's February LF in BEG was 84%
Kudos to Fraport. They have been working so hard lately to develop their airports. We have seen nothing but growth lately. They are constantly negotiating new routes. SKG is currently under development, the Greek islands' airports as well.
ReplyDeleteLJU, VAR/BOJ will see new terminal expansions in the future.
LIM airport is also constantly growing outside of Europe.
I think LJU will see very positive changes in the future and very good luck with the future W6 negotiations too.
Fraport should hve added 4 jetbridge gates to their LJU airport expansion. Boarding thru the bridge is today almost a humanright at least in developped corners
DeleteHuh, London Heathrow breaks all human rights with those buses. I think that LJU is still human friendly.
