Zagreb's largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, January 2025
Very good start. Handball championship must have helped too.
ReplyDeleteIncredible start to the year for Franjo Tudman airport!
ReplyDeleteI am positive following OU's route expansion that the airport could come close to 4.8 million passengers for the year.
Bravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that Turkish has more capacity than Lufthansa
ReplyDeleteLH compared with last year has closed the gap with TK by half.
Delete2024
LH: 16.470
TK: 20.046
Again this is capacity, not passenger numbers. Sheesh.
DeleteYeah, but there are barely any Lufthansa flights in Zagreb. I wonder if the numbers reflect that? To Cologne and Stuttgart there is Eurowings. To Frankfurt, most of the tickets that Lufthansa sells are flown on Croatia Airlines flights, and the Lufthansa flights are operated by CityJet. Then there is Lufthansa City, Air Dolomiti Lufthansa Regional. Lufthansa passengers also fly with Austrian Airlines, Croatia Airlines to Brussels and Zurich, etc etc. Only one daily flight from Munich to Zagreb is actually Lufthansa itself, although I think the CityJet flights also count for seat capacity.
DeleteLufthansa definitely dominates in Zagreb, but it does not operate all the seats it sells.
They operate MUC on a320
DeleteSometimes A321. But that is the only actual Lufthansa flight in Zagreb. Everything else is wet-leased, codeshared, Croatia Airlines, or subsidiary.
DeleteAnon 15:04 What are you on?? Lufthansa flies 5 times daily to Zagreb what are you talking about they dont fly to ZAG?? The capacity displayed in the article for Lufthansa is flown by Lufthansa jets and only Lufthansa. Doesnt matter if its Lufthansa cityjet or Lufthansa itself
Delete@18:03 don't give them too much attention.
DeleteSome people are suffering from L.D.S. Lufthansa Derangement Syndrome.
I hope he gets better
Одлично вести. Све на боље за већина наших града.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
Delete^ Odlične vijesti. Sve najbolje za većinu naših (ex-yu) gradova.
DeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteBased on available seats for 2025, Zagreb airport will handle over 4.8 million passengers. Question is, will it handle 5.0 million, the magical figure for Zagreb airport atm.
ReplyDeleteBased on current available seats, which from what I recall was around 5.85 million seats in 2025, Airport is expected to handle around 4.8 million this year.
January - 280
February - 270
March - 340
April - 400
May - 445
June - 455
July - 480
August - 490
September - 470
October - 465
November - 350
December - 365
This is conservative estimate, indicates airport will handle around 4.81 million passengers. Again these figures are based on preliminary seats available capacity, noumber of seats will go up as there's noumber of flights that need to be scheduled in and charters also need to be included... Suffice to say, 5.0 million is quite possible, but 4.8 million is easily achievable as things stand.
