Ljubljana’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, March 2024
2018. Assuming about 200,000 transfer traffic, this makes about 10-15% of passenger traffic. That means the remaining traffic is still about 10% behind 2018.
ReplyDeleteLjubljana performance is already ok. Consider that now they are more flights from nearby Trieste and Zagreb compared to precovid time.
Deletethere is nothing to consider. flights to Lubljana are flights to Ljublana.
DeleteAnd why should Ljubljana not be the one taking pax from Trieste?
DeleteRyanair now has 14 destinations from Trieste, plus additional 4 that are seasonal. Can Ljubljana do the same or something similar?
DeleteMy point. LJU is bleeding pax to Ryanair in Zagreb, Trieste, Treviso and even Vienna. What we need is more LCC leisure routes. Like Volotea or Easyjet to Spanish tourist towns

DeleteThat’s actually true. ZAG and TRS are representing more competition, so yes, it’s okay.
@18:47 Even before the base of FR in ZAG, LJU struggled with recovery. I guess TSF and VCE were their option back then, but still i dont believe that LJU can set new records soon. Even if they do so, it will be because more people travel naturally every year from everywhere, but LJU is still stuck in 2019 which wasnt even their best year, 2018 was. The market is small and there is so much competition from everywhere, i think the current numbers are okay for LJU. Not to mention that Slovenia is much closer to Western Europe then the other Balkan countries, so people go to places with car, train, bus etc.
DeleteCroatia is also close to Western Europe. Zagreb Graz is 2 hours drive. Rijeka Milano is closer than Rijeka Dubrovnik etc.
DeleteI didn't understand just one thing. Off topic but related to airlines in LJU. How many and which destinations will White Airways serve and also will Trade Air continue to operate?
ReplyDeleteKompas destinations will largely be White, iirc
DeleteThank you
DeleteLooks like 2024 will bring good results.
ReplyDeleteWhy 32% in February and 22% in March? Good March 2023?
ReplyDeleteFebruary had one additional day.
DeleteOne day if Feb is 3% more, also, Easter was in March
DeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteHow is SKP route performing, does anyone have some info?
ReplyDeletePeople are saying that flights are full but I dont have any real info
DeleteHere are pax per month:
Delete2023 - 09 - 352 pax
2023 - 10 - 3861 pax
2023 - 11 - 4450 pax
2023 - 12 - 4553 pax
2024 - 01 - 4753 pax
@15.08 people are posting real infos since the route started
DeleteSo even the first flight was full both ways. Average LF is 171 out of 180 seats. I hope they increase it to four and five times per week. W6 is literally ignoring the whole Balkan now because of their Italian bases.
DeleteSo LJU is in front of SJJ in Q1
ReplyDeleteyes, LJU had 22.325 pax more in Q1
DeleteBut Sarajevo will explode now as they have more available seats, especially from May.
DeleteLjubljana need bigger Airport for better flow !!!! Why are sooo slow !!
