NEWS FLASH
Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport handled 57.912 passengers during the first month of the year, representing an increase of 54% on last year. However, the figure is still down 23.3% on the pre-pandemic 2020. The number of aircraft movements stood at 906, which is down 6% on last year. Ljubljana Airport estimates welcoming 1.2 million passengers this year.
Is the list of destinations by the goverment out?

DeleteChange vs 2022 is irrelevant. What is concerning is a deeply negative trend compared to JAN 2020 which means that the connectivity is even worse as in the first few months after Adria collapse. LJU needs some sustainable solutions - either a permanent base of scheduled operator or a national airliner.
ReplyDeleteThere is more and more buzz about air slovenia actually being a thing
DeleteGovernment had a meeting with Ryanair and Wizz again few days ago ... lets see.
DeleteThere was no meeting, they only asked some questions about the expected subsidies. No specific discussions recently.
DeleteAir Slovenia? God help us.
DeleteAir Slovenia? God, please ASAP!!!
DeleteAir Slovenia it will be just another "black hole" for Slovenian public finances, where millions of € will be spent without any impact. Subsidies for connectivity on certain routes is much feasible.
DeleteWe are losing much more due to lack of connectivity. Subsidies scheme is in place for two years and we can see the result of that.
Delete"he figure is still down 23.3% on the pre-pandemic 2019" - Is this comparison in table to Jan19 or Jan20? In text it's written 2019 but in table it shows 2020.
ReplyDelete2020, amended
DeleteThx! It would be interesting to see comparison to Jan19 as well.
DeleteCompared to January 2019, the difference is -44.1%
DeleteThe new terminal really looks good!
ReplyDeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteYou are being sarcastic right? :)
DeleteWhat do you mean "sarcastic"??? Stop with your conspiracy theory. Fraport Slovenija is a well managed company that everybody loves. They bring new routes and airlines each year, LJU is almost at pre-pandemic levels and is one of the best connected airports in EX-YU. Stop with the conspiracy!
DeleteYou are being sarcastic again, you are really funny :) for all others who take you seriously they must know that -44,1% is not almost at pre-pandemic level.
DeleteJust taken a look at the Fraport figures. Most airports seemed to have very good numbers and Frankfurt itself more than 3,6 million in January! Varna seemed to have doubled its traffic and Lima too had a strong month. Thessaloniki almost 373,000.
ReplyDeleteLJU had less than 1 thousand tonnes of cargo, still room for more improvement. Fraport Slowenia must work on cargo flights as well. Maybe Leipzig, Zaragoza or Luxembourg.
Well Done Ljubljana. 53% is great result.
