That said, Air Serbia had a few advantages:<br /><br />1. I think back then they had double daily flights plus the code-share with Alitalia. <br /><br />2. Better times out of BEG/FCO. <br /><br />3. Connections on both ends. <br /><br />All easyJet could rely on was the O&D market which probably isn't that big to start with. <br />I guess in the end they found better use for the aircraft. <br /><br />Mind you, Wizz Air suspended their own Belgrade-Rome flights long before Air Serbia was established. Their LF was quite bad, around 65%. Then again, it's worth mentioning that arriving at BEG at 00.25 wasn't too appealing, no matter how cheap their flights were.<br /><br />For example, we can take the busiest month, August, back in 2011 to compare the two airlines. <br /><br />BEG-FCO<br />Wizz Air: 2.592 passengers on nine flights, LF 83%<br /><br />Jat Airways: 3.789 passengers on 23 flights.<br /><br />BEG-MXP<br /><br />Jat Airways: 3.222 passengers on 18 flights.<br /><br />However, if we compare Jat's performance the previous August then we can see they recorded a sharp rise in passenger numbers, despite Wizz Air entering the market. <br /><br />August 2010:<br /><br />BEG-FCO 3.205 passengers (+23% in 2011)<br />BEG-MXP 2.375 passengers (+18% in 2011)<br /><br />To the list of airlines that failed on this market we can also add Air One which suspended their MXP flights and that one airline that wanted to link BEG and Forli back in 2010. <br /><br />In my opinion, Air Serbia didn't directly defeat these airlines, they just found a way to make Italy work. So far no other airline has done that, with the exception of Alitalia, of course. <br /><br />Given that Ryanair wants to build a true hub in Rome with connections and all that, we might see them at BEG... or INI if they are adventurous enough.<br /><br />easyJet is too static when it comes to Serbia. I think they don't really have a strategy and I don't see what other route besides ORY they could launch. I think HAM-BEG could have worked but then ASL launched it... and now they are anyway closing the base. <br /><br /><br />Hope this helped. :)Nemjeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-51596751541936060552017-08-20T19:27:08.976+02:002017-08-20T19:27:08.976+02:00OT would anyone know the total pax between BEG and...OT would anyone know the total pax between BEG and VIE , loads respecti ely for Austrian and JU? <br />Is there a signn of INI-BTS impact ?

It's sort of sad not to have the opportunity to connect onto the flights as the options from MXP and FCO were really great. Was it lack of marketing in Serbia or something else, so that those flights couldn't operate with some profit ...

On top of that, Swiss authorities took forever to authorize the code-share meaning that Darwin had to spend the whole summer season flying O&D passengers- in other words they had to compete with Swiss and easyJet for them. Who in his right mind wanted to spend 3 hours in a tiny turboprop when both Swiss and easyJet operated much larger and more comfortable aircraft.<br /><br />Swiss on the other hand generally failed in Geneva as a result of a bad strategy. They underestimated easyJet's role in the market. <br /><br />easyJet was the triumphant carrier on the market simply because it knew what it was doing. <br /><br />ZRH is LX's home airport so they are far more competitive there. They know how to deal with their competition and to defend their share of the cake. <br /><br />I am sure both Swiss and Germania will do fine in INI. The market is big, no doubt about that. Both airlines need to wait out for it to matures. In a year or two I am sure we will see both airlines add more flights/seats between the two cities.
