ReplyDeleteIs there an info how many pax JU carried in January?
ReplyDeleteVery bad loading factor representing 600.333 of 810.129!
ReplyDeleteThe airport did not have 810.000 seats in January. As mentioned multiple times, capacity levels constantly change as airlines change frequencies and equipment on a regular basis.
DeleteEven if it had 810.000 seats that is LF of about 74% which is totally okay for January. In this month only couple days in the beginning are good, other days are always bad in terms of demand.
DeleteAirport has record January, posts growth of 6.5% but there is always that one idiot to say "VERY BAD" lol
DeleteFor reference see the article https://www.exyuaviation.com/2025/12/most-ex-yu-capital-airports-to-start.html
DeleteAs mentioned multiple times, capacity levels change, especially in a month which had significant operational disruptions across the continent, resulting in numerous cancelled flights The airport had 800.583 seats.
DeleteNo internet search is needed to figure out who is using VERY BAD expression to describe JU&BEG. His comments are like fertilizer. It smells bad but the more he, to put it mildly, fertilizes, the bigger BEG and JU grow!
Delete@admin Understand capacity changes, but 10.000 seats less than planned is not so small change. Dou you maybe have data which airline generated the biggest capacity change, and also how many flights were cancelled and that are not influenced by bad weather. Thanks in advance
Delete10.000 out of 810.000 is just 1.2% less. You are welcome!
DeleteIf Belgrade airport load factor is so bad I wonder how other airports in the region are doing
DeleteZagreb had a load factor of 70% in January much worse than belgrade
DeleteSince when is 75% during off season a bad LF? It's around a year round average for some airlines...
Delete600k in January? Not too bad. For comparison, 10 years ago Belgrade Airport had 290.580 passengers in Jan 2016. Now it's more than double. Congrats BEG!
ReplyDelete@EX-YU Aviation how many passengers Tuzla have in january?
ReplyDeleteFor BEG it is a very promising start!
ReplyDeleteWould the 10 Mio mark be reachable in 2026 or 2027 is more realistic?
It would be interesting if the data are available not only to have the seats that were on offer but also the pax carried by airline.
^^ nice to see January getting off to a good start.
