Solid results. Interesting that Passengers grew more than the operations meaning airlines saw better loads. Luckily JU seems to have stabilized it's operations so there are no more large fluctuations.
ReplyDeleteProbably we shall be seeing bigger birds (A321) almost on daily bases from FCO, IST (it already is), ZRH, FRA, MOW, DOH...
DeleteTonight is also the first night flights operated by OS, they are sending the Q400.
DeleteBEG is seeing limited growth this November, I guess another month of 3% growth.
Delete15 thousand additional pax is a lot....
ReplyDeleteBelgrade added almost 265 thousand so far in 2018.
DeleteInteresting how October is stronger than May. Who would have guessed.
ReplyDeleteIn Germany there are 2 weeks holiday for children in October. Something you do not have in May
Deleteyou have 4 bank holidays in May
DeleteNot in all parts of Germany. Somewhere there were 3 and somewhere there were 4 bank holidays in May 2018.
DeleteAnyhow kids need to go to school after them (together with weekend it is not more than 4 days) and in October they have 2 weeks in a row including one bank holiday
Da upotpunimo ovu vest
ReplyDelete– Na aerodromu je u oktobru 2018. godine zabeležena opšta tačnost poletanja od 86,3%, dok je redovnost letova Er Srbije iznosila čak oko 91%, dok je svega 2,5% letova bilo sa kašnjenjem većim od 60 minuta.
Very good!
DeleteBy the numbers it is quite obvious that the growth is slowing, regardless of how many pax were absolutely added. But this is a phenomenon across all airport of Europe.. the party seem to be over with increasing fuel prices..
ReplyDeleteacross all airport of Europe?P examples pls or you are making this up
DeleteP.S go look at VIE's numbers
EU airport growth avarage this year is +3%.
DeleteYou can't compare VIE with the rest because it's a battleground like Sofia was. Dust will settle and growth will drop.
DeleteGrowth is bigger in Oct than in Sep so I do not see what is so obvious.
DeleteIt is not realistic from the busiest airport in ex-yu to have each month growth of 10%
Why is it not realistic? FRA or VIE have growths of around 10%. BEG being the only bigger airport in Serbia would let you expect bigger growth rates...
DeleteDo you hear yourself? Which cities from which countries with what sort of economies you are comparing to BEG. Get real.
DeleteOh please get real.
DeleteAs already mentioned VIE become battle field so therefore they have artificial growth. Similar as Sofia had in last year or two 11-16% growth and in 2018 only 5%.
Please check the facts before tlaking about FRA
2013 58 mil
2014 59,5 mil
2015 61 mil
2016 60,8 mil (!)
2017 64,5 mil
Where do you see here 10%?
Increasing in 2017 mostly contributed by LCC (FR,U2.W6)
we are in 2018 and I am talking aboit this year
DeleteYou can be sure BEG will have it as well if FR comes
DeleteStarting to get worried about BEG.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting at least 9%, 3% is just below average.
No need to worry at all.
DeleteThere are so many carriers who increased their frequncies during next winter that BEG has no single reason for worry.
Each month until March it is expected growth to be min 3-5 % and when Vinci takes over summer season will be very fruitful.
Next year
ReplyDeleteFebruary goes over 300.000
August goes over 700.000 (!)
October goes over 500.000
So SOF is ahead of BEG with almost 1 million PAX
ReplyDeleteUntil the end of September SOF have 5,347,818
Good for them. And?
DeleteWe all know why SOF grew so much but anyhow and this year it returned to 5% growth only.
DeleteLet me remind you in 2016 it was 16% and in 2017 11% due to the war between FR and W6
Plus I think both FR and W6 have cut a lot of flights from SOF this winter.
DeleteOnly W6 have cut. FR have added flights compared to last year
DeleteSo far this year W6 has cut flights out of SKP, SOF, ATH, BEG, OTP, BUD, PRG, WAW...
DeleteCuts were much more severe in Sofia than other airports.
DeleteI guess that's why SOF has not published its numbers since May.
DeleteYeah, SOF for you is all about FR and W6.
DeleteHow about U2 new UK routes? LH 3rd daily FRA, QR increasing capacity. FZ increasing frequencies, SU additional daily frequency, Antalya Onur charters and TK soon 3 daily, arrival of JP or all this does not count?
Similar to BEG, SOF also has seen new additions.
U2 will deploy A321 for the first time this winter.
LH was regularly sending Neo and A321.
If it's not BEG vs ZAG then it's always BEG vs SOF.
Same old story.
SOF growth:
Delete2008: 17.7%
2009: -3.0%
2010: 5.2%
2011: 5.4%
2012: -0.2%
2013: 1.1%
2014: 8.9%
2015: 7.2%
2016: 21.8%
2017: 30.3%
2018: 7.8% (so far)
So as you can see, there was always growth but it was rather normal until war between FR and W6 started. That's what people on here have been saying from the start. I am sorry but 21 and 30 growth is not normal nor natural.
SOF (01.01.-30.09.) - 5,347,818 +7,7% (+400,000)
ReplyDeleteBEG (01.01.-30.09.) - 4,401,028 +6.0% (+250,000)
