Great to see BEG growing once again. I wonder if this summer we might see double digit growth. We are set for yet another record breaking year bringing us closer to six million passengers.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, INI welcomed 30.044 passengers which is some 2.000 more than last year. It's good to see other routes compensated for EIN's termination.
So far this year INI had 114.938 passengers.
Oh, my dear Lord. 115 thousand pax for INI?? God bless, hoping to see another 1 in front by 2025. INI-DTM is also now available for winter.
DeleteAlso, I was secretly hoping that BEG could have achieved a double digit growth.
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy ...
DeleteI found this especially interesting:
DeleteОвогодишњи нови дневни рекорд забележен 27. априла, када услужено 18.095 путника.
I checked and it seems like there was a lot of extra capacity sent that day. Alitalia, Qatar, Lufthansa ... all sent the A321 while LO's E95 is regular on Fridays.
Then again, it was the weekend just before May 1st so many people travelled abroad. I think even JU had charters to Kerkyra and Naples.
May will see even more growth. Just today there are four A321s at the airport and almost every day there are charter flights, two to Italy yesterday (Pisa and Naples).
ReplyDelete6 A321

LH A321
TK A321 x 4
QR A321
Nice. Are the extra two TK flights charters?
DeleteI guess this is how TK is compensating for the lack of widebody.
A321 are soon going to be permanent in SKP too. I hope W6 deploy them on BEG-MMX and BEG-FMM busy routes.
DeleteI doubt Wizz will be bringing the A321 anytime soon to Belgrade. They seem to have become a bit too passive here.
DeleteFantastic result, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI like how BEG is always among the first to publish.
DeleteWhenever the results are good (there is growth), or when they want to hide something (as was the case with the 5 millionth pax).
DeleteHappy for BEG.
At least we didn't have those problems for 22 months now. :D
DeleteWoow, that's nice! Go Belgrade, soon we will have direct flights to Shanghai.
ReplyDeleteBefore Shanghai I believe we shall have flights to LIS and LYS
DeleteI doubt there will be LYS with GVA next dooe getting more flights.
DeleteGeographical proximity between GVA and LYS could be limitating factor for LYS flights from BEG, but at the same time U2 flies only 3pw (in January 2pw) from BEG to GVA with some flights starting from BEG very early in the morning.
DeleteThat leaves enough space for other company to introduce BEG-LYS flights.
HOP on the Embraer would be nice.
DeleteExactly
DeleteSo BEG added some 70.000 passengers this year. Not bad given the state of JU.
ReplyDeleteToday zero, tomorrow hero ����
Delete500.000 next year in April.
DeleteGreat job BEG.....
