NEWS FLASH
British Airways has requested slots at London’s Heathrow Airport to operate flights to Ljubljana during the 2023/24 winter season. So far, the flag carrier has maintained only seasonal summer operations to the Slovenian capital since it launched services to the city in 2019. Based on the slot request, British Airways plans to add 25.344 seats between the two cities during the winter, which begins on October 29 and runs until March 30, 2024. However, it should be noted that British Airways can still change its decision, which is not final. Tickets are yet to be put on sale on the route for the winter. Existing services are scheduled to run until October 25. Prior to the pandemic, London was one of Ljubljana’s busiest routes, served by several airlines to several of the city’s airports. However, during the first quarter of 2023, passenger numbers on flights to the UK’s capital were down 54.7% compared to the pre-pandemic 2019.
Fraport wont be happy about it.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if the requested schedule is aligned to enable transfer to long haul waves.
DeletePlease stop trolling with baseless Fraport conspiracy theories.
Delete"baseless Fraport conspiracy theories" LOL you are just blind.
Delete+1 to Anon 16:10. The same Fraport and LJU comments based on "rekla-kazala" are just pointless.
DeleteAnon 17:54 and Croatia Airlines is the best run airline in the world. Everything else is just "rekla-kazala"
Delete25344 seats is daily service?
ReplyDelete4 weekly on A319
Delete25344 would mean that every day there would be around 168 seats avaible so it should be daily right?
Delete3 weekly on A320
DeleteSeats are counted both ways. That means 3w with a mix of 319/320/321. If received they have to use at least 80% of allocated slots. Great news.
Delete144 seats * 2 ways * 4 weekly * 22 weeks = 25344 seats
DeleteThanks Anon 15.49, basic math skills really helps to be relevant in comments.

ReplyDeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteAnd now everything is solved! There is no need for national carrier anymore! #SarcasmOFF
ReplyDeleteThere never was a need for a “national” carrier. There is a need for Ryanair though. It’s what most of us use when we fly abroad.
DeleteI guess the photo is showing of a BA A320 in front of the mountains of Innsbruck airport
