NEWS FLASH
The Slovenian Prime Minister, Robert Golob, has given the go-ahead to his Minister for Infrastructure, Alenka Bratušek, to continue preparations and procedures for finding legal and economic solutions for the establishment of a new flag carrier. Ms Bratušek, who has been one of the most vocal supporters for setting up a new national airline, believes the carrier could be operational in time for the 2025 summer season. An expert taskforce has concluded the new carrier could only be successful if the government inked a Public Private Partnership agreement with another company. The Slovenian-registered airline Amelia International, which primarily operates out of France, has said it is open to cooperation with the government over a potential partnership if the conditions are right.
If only someone else than Bratušek was setting it up... But I still have my hopes for a better future of Slovenian aviation.
ReplyDeleteWhy, I belive its a good idea
DeleteShe's not setting it up, there is bunch of experts from aviation behind the scenes. That's what we were waiting for, but still there is a long way before first flight will take off.
DeleteExperts??? Hahahahahahahaha, experts! This is a good one. Quite the experts Slovenia has, indeed! The same ones who couldn't make Adria work despite over a hundred million taxpayer funds!!! How lucky are we to live in such a corrupt country.
DeleteWhat are you laughing for? who was in charge of JP in last 2 decades? Only politically appointed managers or 4k criminals. Slovenia has plenty of experts in aviation, there is only question if politics will give them chance to do something.
DeleteTotally agreed. If it falls in the right hands then it could become successful in a few years. And by falling in the right hand hopefully comes a wise choice of aircraft. Not Crj's again, please.
DeleteThis is actually going to happen isn't it? Feels like Amelia already has off the record deal done
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Now all will be well in the Slovenian aviation sector. Traffic at LJU is going to soar, bureaucrats are finally going to be able to go to Brussels and back in a day - they surely can't be missed there! And my grandmother, who cannot get basic health care despite working all her life in the health care system, is going to pay for all of it out of her taxes. Goody!
ReplyDeleteI do not support this. If A. Bratušek or anyone else wants to set this up they can do so WITHOUT MY MONEY.
I'm not taking trains nor busses, does that mean that i should stop paying taxes, bcs im not using them?
DeleteStop whining about everything
And are paying much more to cover losses because of lack of air connectivity in Slovenia. Effects of that is over 400 mio € in minus. I would rather pay 10 mio loss than 400...
DeleteCould two of you before me have at least a little bit of compassion? We talk about grandmother here after all 😃
DeleteAnon 13:44. Thank you very much that at least someone pointed that out. Slovenia lost much more money by not being well-connected and I think it was around 400 mio in minus, yes. So all the people crying about tax paying would probably pay much less if a national carrier or some kind of commercial airline was actively present in Slovenian airports.
DeleteIs this a a good will estimate, or an actual drop that Slovenia experienced? Other airlines took over, people are still flying in; how did Slovenia loose 400M exactly? Not even asking (yet) how is that even tied to taxes to begin with.
DeleteSlovenian aviation had their gloory days… its very hard to make a new national airline with not so big pupulation…
ReplyDeleteWhere is a will, there is a way!
DeleteAgree, but sadly that is not a moto of Slovenian government
DeleteIt will be interesting to see who will they hire for work. Adria staff won´t come back so easy. You can hire new young workers but they have no expirience.
ReplyDeleteIt wil be like firefighters who flood burning house!
