Does anyone know what were the loads like?
ReplyDelete39 weeks from 1.1.2024-1.10.2024, 120 pax per roatation, but i think there were a few weeks where operations were twice weekly. So rougly a 75% load would be my guess
DeleteThat's tough. I guess a lot of people are using Wizz from SKP.
DeleteI think that in 2024 there was only flight per week.
Deletein Avgust every Monday in 4 rotation was 1169 pax between LJU and PRN. Average 146 pax per flight.
DeleteBusiest month, makes sense I guess
DeleteAnother win for Fraport. Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteOnly a few airlines left till we are Lufthansa only - congrats!
It's the reality of the situation, nothing to do with Fraport. It's like an echo chamber in here with the LJU fanboys crying all the time.
DeleteLJU is dominated by LH group, and if the talks about Berlin and Munich are true...
DeleteWhat is about Berlin and Munich?
DeleteWas LH flying to FRA twice daily last year as well? Connectivity in LJU is getting worse and worse.
DeleteDuring winter yes, so no change, MUC is upgraded with two daily flights on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. More on LH group ex-YU winter flights published here already in May: https://www.exyuaviation.com/2024/05/lufthansa-and-swiss-boost-ex-yu-winter.html
DeleteLJU is not dominated by Lufthansa at all.
DeleteThere is chitchat that they've applied for subsides for Munich flights via their new AOC, no idea which one, and regarding Berlin, I have no idea, OP should clarify that one
DeleteThey should really start a reality show - who gets eliminated next week 🤣
DeleteProbably they will switch MUC-LJU flights to the new AOC soon, but that doesn’t make them eligible for state subsidies as they are allowed only for new routes (city pairs) and not linked to AOC. However this applies to BER route, which is coming soon.
Delete22:44 that's not true; for example the tender specifically asks for Skopje connection although its already there
Delete@Anon 23:31 Read the tender, not only the table.
DeleteYes, reading tender :) It is specifically for new routes (city areas). The Slovenian government would do anything to secure morning and late afternoon flights to BRU, but subsidies are only possible for Charleroi. As for Lufthansa, sooner or later, regional flights will be operated by Lufthansa City Airlines or Air Dolomiti. According to the new strategy, it seems that LH Cityline is on its way out, as it is planned that smaller regional aircraft routes will be operated by a long-term wet lease partner, similar to how SAS will operate with Braathens.
DeleteThere is a shortage of pilots and shortage of airplanes. Airlines are prioritizing.
ReplyDeletelol GP?
DeleteSomeone add Trade Air charters to Wikipedia, at least fill the space in the column with airlines and destinations and brag abroad that we have a charter center.
ReplyDeleteNo no, charter hub 😃
ReplyDeleteI took these flights from PRN to LJU and the connectivity was not very good. The prices were almost DOUBLE to fly to the US from PRN compared to BEG.
ReplyDeletewhat connectivity?
Deletethey were dirt cheap actually
