NEWS FLASH
Sarajevo Airport welcomed 208.570 passengers through its doors in August, representing a decrease of 4% on last year’s record. However, figures are still up 16.6% on the pre-pandemic 2019. The decline in travellers follows a reduction in both the number of operated flights and available capacity on 2022. Passenger numbers are expected to further decrease in September when compared to last year. During the January - August period, Sarajevo Airport handled 938.506 travellers, down 5% on the same period in 2022.
Sarajevo's largest airlines by seat capacity, August 2023
This is actually not a bad news for Sarajevo. Only 4% down in August; taking into account that last year Wizz Air had 2 planes based at the airport.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that the W6 base in SJJ is weak. The numbers speak for the low LF. While in TZL LF is high but.....
DeleteAll in all it seems that SJJ/TZL does not lose from closing the bases. We lost about 5 daily flights. Now existing airlines will be with good LF.
DeleteIts airport is missing several key destinations, ie. Berlin, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Baden-Baden, Nuremberg, Malmö.
DeleteJordan Aviation B&H
Deleteexcellent result.
DeleteAre you serious?
Deleteyes!
DeleteWhat a shame, especially now that we've got such a nice lounge (with the same crappy food that was before but I digress). :-)
ReplyDeleteLoza ima slicnu ponudu kao i one u Beogradu i Zagrebu,
DeleteTo je ne cini dobrom.
DeleteWhich airlines are we expecting next summer? B&H demand seems to be in the summer. Most airlines come in spring or summer.
ReplyDeleteBTW will this be the first year that SJJ/TZL can serve 2 million passengers in total?
ReplyDeleteI think the results by the end of the year will be 1.3.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of B&H's situation and air connections after the W6 recall? Do we look like Slovenia and Belarus?
ReplyDeleteSlovenia is even better then B&H after Wizz Air decided to significantly reduce its presence in the country as well as Ryanair. Looking at Sarajevo itself, it is in worse condition then Ljubljana, as the airport has only few connections to Europe, the rest of them are in the Middle East. Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Cologne or Dusseldorf, Vienna, Warsaw, Zurich are good but as a capital airport of a country, this is really bad.
DeleteYou are wrong!
DeleteBelarus relies on local passenger flow, they lost a lot of transfer passengers like LJU. Now they are just a p2p airport (missing flights to Europe).
DeleteLJU is almost completely restored, just the transfers are missing.
DeleteAlso Minsk, but flights to Europe have no successor.
B&H isn't in such dire straits either, just missing destinations. Frequencies aren't that much of a waste. As well as that W6 goes from TZL.
More western European destinations should be added, 75% are Middle East, the number of destinations to Western countries for a capital is so limited, unbelievable and shameful for a European country, to cry.......
ReplyDeleteI agree. Europe should be shamed to not add some routes to this European country.
DeleteI blame JU for not increasing flights.
ReplyDeleteThat is for sure. Not just AirSerbia and Croatia Airlines should be more involved in this region.
