Bravo LJU!
ReplyDeleteWhat for? For more than 30% decline compared to 2019 when JP already was in huge troubles..
DeleteBut that delta is what every airport in that size has to work with and their numbers are on the green side compared to the average.
DeleteCan they achieve 1.4 million this year? If they do it's actually a decent number considering everything
ReplyDeleteNope
Delete1,25 mio max
DeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteCould be BRAVO Fraport, but it's still a disaster for Slovenia's connectivity. Everything less then 1.7 mio is bad.
Delete1.7 with many albanians and bosnians..... p2p is restored
DeleteHow many transfer passengers used LJU as a connecting hub in 2019?
Delete~200 000-300 000
DeleteAnd I come to mention to people that TIA-LJU-VIE travelers (for example) are counted twice. That is, yes p2p is restored.
DeleteI don't understand what the motivation is behind spreading all those lies about "many albanians and bosnians" and p2p being restored. It's simply not true. Let's take a look at the data: 2018 (the last normal year) out of 1.812.411 only 284.984 passengers were transfer passengers (yes, counted twice - actually even four times if on return ticket). This represents 15,7% of all LJU traffic. Then you take into account that all "competing" airports are doing better, if not much better than 2018 and you can realistically expect 1.7 mio passengers in LJU to consider it as a "good recovery", not lagging behind the competition.
DeleteImpressive how some people here still believe they can feed their Airports with Kosovo passengers 😅
Delete2018 numbers are even better explained in the following way.
Delete- 1.812.411 represents nothing else than the number of boarding cards issued for travels to/from/via LJU (it does not mean the number of individuals)
- 1.527.427 (1.812.411 minus "pax" transfering at LJU) represents both ways passengers, however it most probably means 763.713 INDIVIDUALS (if everyone travelled on a return ticket)
- 284.984 represents the number of boarding tickets issued to pax who transfered at LJU, however these boarding tickets represent only cca 72.000 INDIVIDUALS (because each transfer passenger is counted 4x - gets 4 boarding passes) who used to transfer at LJU (assuming everyone travelled on a return ticket.
Transfer pax at LJU in 2018 represented only 9,4% of ALL INDIVIDUALS who travelled to/from LJU.
good result for LOT and Air Serbia. hope they can increase it further next year. its telling what the situation is when the Lufthansa group in total has over 39 thousand in August.
ReplyDeleteLO is doing well, service is fine and they are reliable. Hope for twice daily next summer.
DeleteAir Serbia having more capacity than Air France is a shocker
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteAnd with increases this winter, the numbers will be even higher.
AF is always quite full, but doing noting to strengthen position of AF-KLM in LJU. I’m glad that JU does.
DeleteAF even cut all their morning flights (and replace it with another midday), so their result could be even worse in future. KLM is not an option due to capacity constrains in AMS.
DeleteAccording to the number of flights AF results are not bad and I don’t agree that with mid-day and late afternoon schedule will be worse. AF afternoon flights are doing much better than e.g late inbound one. Perception that early morning flights are performing best are not necessarily in line with the reality, more in line with a wish for a morning departures independent of coats and current performance.
Delete@Admin, when will BEG numbers for August be published?
ReplyDeleteThis coming Monday.
DeleteAir Serbia will probably increase LJU next summer to 21pw, maybe even 24pw.
ReplyDeleteMaybe even 28
DeleteNow with the good ATRs 600, they will attract more passengers to their network. If they include Emraer, that would be also interesting.
