Nice! easyJet just extended their MAN flights into the summer. Even though the airport said that they are gonna increase frequencies in the summer, it remains two per week.
ReplyDeleteSo what is new for next year? Barcelona and Manchester will be extended into summer as some prople were saying, Edinburgh and Podrgorica are launching and maybe Pegasus to SAW.And reportedly KLM is going double daily, Finnair is increasing capacity as well as Lufthansa. Also there was a meeting between Slovenian and Qatari delegation and there was talks about establishing flights between countries but nothing serious as of now…Anything else?
ReplyDeleteeasyJet is maybe launching another route in the summer as it was reported here a couple of days ago.
DeleteIberia adding more flights
DeleteairBaltic, flyDubain and Aegean adding more frequencies, Wizz will fly with A321 and probably add more frequencies and there are also rumours of another new route, but we don't know where or how certain that is.
DeleteThis has a highly likelihood of changing, but Wizz scheduled 5 flights per week for December 26
DeleteWizz could be suprising with a new route or two 😉
DeleteIs it in the Balkans? Or maybe finally a summer destination? 👀
DeleteAnon 11:31 , do you have some serious info or are you just playing? And where did you get the info.
DeleteBravo Frpaort!
ReplyDeleteAre there any rumors about potential new summer leissure route ?
ReplyDeleteThere are some rumours from the people who's rumours about previous unannounced routes were correct, so possibly, it is happening, yes. In one of the previous articles one guy said:
Delete"And it's not the only summer route to be announced within a month :)"
And then after being asked for more info (possibly) the same guy replied:
"The success of LPA route will open MANY doors..."
So I am thinking maybe airBaltic has some more stuff up it's sleeve.
W6 should do W rotation SKP-LJU-SJJ-LJU-SKP with double subsides. It's such a short flight and would work 3pw easily.
DeleteEither Qatar or Etihad(which is growing fast) will launch flights next year or in 2027. LJU needs more capacity/options to the middle east
ReplyDeleteI think there is more chance for Qatar. Their LF in Zagreb is really good and they have been having talks about launching LJU for ages.
DeleteAnd there are some romours about Qatar flights lately because of the visit of Slovenian delegation in Qatar.
DeleteZRH Airport just published October figures. Pax Numbers 6.7% up against 2024:
ReplyDelete3’168’118 Passengers
Busiest travel day ever was 05oct with 122'668 passengers. It is a continuing trend, that the busiest day of the year is in OCT and no more in JUL
How is this related to LJU or ex-Yu?
DeleteZRH is basically ex YU. 100'000s of es YUs leave here, we hve plenty of YU flights ZRH is in almost every capital of ex YU Top 3 or Top 5 destination.
DeleteRe LJU Happy to see their positive trend, hope it will continue
Live here....
DeleteImagine still being behind 2018 levels..Thats almost 8 years ago…
ReplyDeleteBravo Fraport!
DeleteReasons hve been explained several times on this blog.
DeleteLJU is now def on a positive way. Especially if they can keep LPA and BCN flights, Easy will add 4th dest and if KL adds 2nd daily etc such as IB BT A3 and LH to FRA switching to A319
Not to forger that Wizz has 2 ex YU routes and might add other dests later on. Small steps but proper direction
Imagine being behind 2008 levels.
DeleteFDS guy is at it again.
DeleteFFS guy is at it again.
DeleteYes once per week to LPA will make braking record results! LJU will become the busiest airport in the region thanks to that one weekly service. Wizz with SKP-LJU route is doing much more than Tranasvia and KLM, let alone the easyjet route to MAN and AirBaltic to LPA. The truth is that LJU has almost reached its potenial, if the game doesnt change. What that means is that if people from Venice, Trieste, Zagreb and Austria start to fly from LJU not the other way around.
DeleteWell, Adria had connections via LJU, so returning to the 2018 passenger volume level actually requires considerable growth of the local LJU market vs 2018.
DeleteBravo, greetings from Zagreb to Ljubljana.
ReplyDeleteOnce KLM starts double daily they should be in top 5 right?
ReplyDeleteP2p is 100% resumed. (2018)
ReplyDeleteW6 handling every month 6k to 7k passengers on its route to SKP ,same as KLM and Transavia :))))
ReplyDeleteThe Slovenian president is currently visiting Qatar and mentioned that a new flight route between Ljubljana and Doha might be introduced.
ReplyDeletetriangle with SKP? a bunch of macedonian ministers have been visiting it too recently
