Not great, not terrible
ReplyDeleteIt's a stable growth
DeleteConsidering this year's challenges, I would be happy if they can maintain this until end of year. But in no way this should be satisfactory for the airport of a developing country.
DeleteBravo GP aviation!
ReplyDeletePRN has stagnated. Constipated. As expected though. If own Government don't invest then say goodbye to growth.
ReplyDeleteAll exYU invest anually in air traffic, except Kosovo.
Kosovo cannot invest in air if there is no outside help. Everything that comes there is donation from different countries. They are not able to invest in anything without outside support and help.Thats the reality belived or not
DeleteI'm sure Gov. there can set aside a few million, like the rest of Balkan do.
DeletePRN case is rather a matter of negligence.
I visited Pristina two years ago. I had impression I was in New York (exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea). And I didn't get impression it was with "outside support and help"

DeleteOnly scenario Pristina wld look like New York is if you were living in some isolated mud village in the Balkans for a lifetime 🙂
PRN city may have some new buildings etc. - but they private investments. On the other hand, infrastructure/public investments are scarce even for Moldova/Belarus standards.

DeleteThat is your wishful thinking maybe. Kosovo is as good and as bad as its neighbours currently, but it has plenty of development potential considering a debt to gdp of less than 20%.
Article says record number, haters say stagnation!!

DeleteRecord? Technically yes.
Stagnation? Also yes.
Going from steady 15-20% growth average, to a mere 3% declinr, indeed qualifies as stagnation.
It ultimately depends on ambition.
