At least the start of the year was good. I'm sure the end will be as well.
ReplyDeleteBelgrade will go back to thriving soon.
Bravo Beograd!!!
ReplyDeleteIs February slower because of one less day?
ReplyDeleteIt's the slowest month of the year for aviation globally.
DeleteBEG should be happy to have 3.5 million this year with all the cuts and collapsing demand all around.
ReplyDeleteIn that case, all Croatian airports should be happy if they reach your pessimistic figure in total as the tourism aviation sector will crash and burn. Of course, everything will partly rebound in June.
DeleteBy the end of the year Croatian airports will not drop by more than 10%
DeleteTake a screen shot of your comment and show it to us at the end of the year.
DeleteCan't wait for the airport to become active once again.
ReplyDeleteAgree (+1)
DeleteFull restart as of July hopefully
ReplyDeleteWonder how many pax BEG would have had if there was no coronavirus in 2020, especially how well things started out, plus the new routes announced for this year.
ReplyDeleteI think by the end we would at around 6.8 or 6.9.
Delete7.125 easy.
DeleteVucic said tonight that he hopes the state of emergency might be suspended at the end of month. Hope that in may we start getting flights to certain destinations.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice but there aren't many places flights take off fr right now
DeleteBy the end of the month the only thing that might end is curfew. The travel ban will likely persist for a few more months, for certain places even longer.
DeleteBelgrade will have even more visitors after this Covid19...
ReplyDeleteAgreed. As soon as covid-19 is declared defeated, and a few more months pass, just to be on the safe side. And about a year or so passes to catch up.
DeleteBelgrade will shine again
ReplyDeleteI am confident Belgrade will be the first to bounce back in a region.
ReplyDeleteBy far the city with the greatest potential.
BEG will reach 10 mil. easily within a few years.
