Ljubljana’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, August 2024
Admij is it true that current scheduled ops from LJU this winter are DOWN compared to 2023?
ReplyDeleteYes, scheduled seat capacity is currently down each month year-on-year from November 2024 until the end of the winter season in late March. Of course, this is subject to change.
DeleteThank you, are we talking about +-1% or are the numbers higher? Would love to read about it!
DeleteThere will be an article when airlines finalise their schedules in a few weeks but the decline varies month by month from 7.1% in November to 1.8% in January, which is the smallest rate of decline over the winter. In general it hovers between 4%-8% at the moment.
DeleteAbsurd, Bravo Fraport
DeleteNo need to worry, charter hub idea will save us.
DeleteI still think that the demand for certain destinations is still high enough. London for example. Last November, approx. 9,100 passengers were transported on the LJU - LON - LJU route. This year, however, there are only about 4,000 available seats for November. EsyJet approx. 3 - 4 times a week. British canceled flights for the winter. In my opinion, there are no real reasons for canceling flights
Delete"Fly from your home airprot"
DeleteHad booked a LJU-CDG-HAV flight yesterday (departing at 6:40 from LJU), the morning flight got canceled and I had to fly from Venice.
And before you say, you are the only one, about 30 of us who were flying from Venice, were originally booked from Ljubljana, but had to be moved, as we wouldn't make the connections in CDG with pm flight from Ljubljana
Slovenia really needs SkyAlps or Universial Air to base one or two Dashes there. If Mostar or even freaking Pecs can manage to get them, no idea how Ljubljana can't. Heck in this market Maribor should have flights, and we are arguing about if 4 weekly flights to London is enough for the richest nation in Ex-Yu...how the mighty have fallen
DeleteI have recently met a Slovenian guy in Cyprus who told me "we have Adria and they fly just to Brussels and some other dumb destinations". He actually had no clue that their flag carrier shut down. He said that he does all of his flying via ZAG or VIE, and can't recall the last time he flew from LJU
DeleteI know about a few like the guy you described myself, it's mostly the C levels who don't book their own flights, and just get to the airport they were told.
Deletetbh slovenians got so used of flying from other airports that they dont even check LJ airport as an option anymore. i was flying to CPH last weekend and all my friends asked me if i was flying from Venice or Zagreb. when i said i flew from Ljubljana for 90€ there and back they were shocked. so LJ airport should do a lot more on marketing side to promote that you can also fly cheap from ljubljana.
DeleteSame experience, I was also flying CPH-LJU and all of my friends were shocked how is this even possible 😂
Delete@11:47 Slovenians do not like turboprops.
DeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteThat hike was caused by plethora of charter flights
ReplyDeleteWhich means charter hub is a proven concept! Bravo Fraport!
DeleteHow did Iberia and Aegean perform in August?
ReplyDeleteOn September 15, SiStat will only publish data for July and in October for Avgust. Then we can see how Aegean and Ibera performs Avgust.
DeleteIberia had 95% loads from my experiance. Let's not forget that a few years ago they were filling A321s
DeleteTarom listed Ljubljana as a destination on their website
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything.

DeleteI see it under "Where we fly"
3/4 of those destinations they don't fly to..
