NEWS FLASH
Spanish national carrier Iberia will resume its seasonal summer flights between Madrid and Ljubljana next year. Although the airline plans to run the same number of operations maintained during the 2024 summer season, it will utilise its 168-seat Airbus A320 aircraft on the route instead of the 100-seat CRJ1000 jet used over the previous summer. Iberia will maintain two weekly rotations between the two capitals next year, on Wednesdays and Sundays, from July 27 until September 7. Changes remain possible. Tickets are now available for purchase through the airline’s website.
14 rotations is still bizarre
ReplyDeleteStill a 235% capacity increase. By this trend we'll have around 33 rotations next summer on the A320
DeleteIf tickets sell good they will increase it for sure. Bonus is they announced it much earlier than last year.
Deletethe increase is a 68% increase; where are you getting a 235% increase?
Delete100 to 168 in seats and 10 to 14 in rotations
Delete(168*14*2)/(10*100*2)=2.35, which is 235%
*WAIT MY BAD THOUGHT THERE WERE 10 ROTATIONS LAST SUMMER AND 14 THIS ONE
DeleteYou're right, 68% increase
Its 12 rotations . Between 27 of July and 7 September is 6 weeks, not 7.
DeleteEven if ratio was 2.35 it would not be 235% but only 135%.
DeleteIberia A320 has 180 seats, not 168.
DeleteSystem indicates flights being operated by 168 seat A320s with sharklets.
DeleteCould be a placeholder for the next tender, they can't apply for those 14 rotations, but they can apply for additional ones
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it's an improvement haha
ReplyDeleteAt least it's coming back. I wasn't so sure it would
ReplyDeleteWhat was the load factor like this year?
ReplyDeleteAbove 85% afaik. Some flights were completely full
DeleteIs there perhaps a mistake in the article? It says from June 27 until September 7. Shouldn't it be from July 27 until September 7, if it's 14 rotations?
ReplyDeleteYes, July 27. Corrected
DeleteKakšen pa j bil LF letos?
ReplyDeleteSpaniards are simply special. But ok, better 14 rotations than none.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see TAP aswell
ReplyDeleteWondering how these flights are promoted in Slovenia or in general foreign airlines who do not have a presence like TK or LX,LH,AF,JU on the Slovenian market.
ReplyDeleteFly Dubai, Iberia, Air Baltic, Luxair, BA, Finnair, Wizz: Do they promote their flights in Slovenia with ads in the newspapers or marketing boards next to the streets in Ljubljana?
Apart from one article in Finance, rtvslo, Delo etc. I have not seen any other ads.
Deletethanks anoym 12:27
DeleteI've also seen some ads on Ljubljana buses and jumbo posters. But they were mainly promoting Fraport, not specific airlines.
DeleteWhere is the dežurni expert on how A320 is too big? He should call Iberia and tell them.
