So 85% of pax are leaving in west europe and come to visit relatives. <br /><br />However due to high prices and good highways in croatia and serbia, the diaspora population now take the car rather than the plane.<br /><br />Just to give you an idea the average price of ticket in the high season (june-juli-august-september) is 450 - 500 euro per persoon. While going with a car it cost you 500 of flues an other costs for 5 people. Looking now at German Wings - which supposed to be a low cost airlines. If you book now in August a return flight with them to PRN you pay over 800 euro's. ITS CRAZY<br /><br />Over 50% of people who are flighing to Skopje with Wizz Air are Kosovars. Flight from London-Luton, Eindhoven, Dortmund, Brussels Charleroi, have 50% of the pax going to kosovo. <br /><br />I do it myself as well. Fly to Skopje with Wizzair - take the bus to Prishtina (is only 5 euros)<br /><br />Its a shame that since belle air's bankrupcy no other airlines step out to offer competitive prices to PRN. They have build an incredible europeans standards airport so its time to do something booming to make use of it.<br /><br />As long prices stay the same people from diaspora will continue to take the car to Kosovo. The road are becoming better and better every year also for the winter season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-78204706743831442472014-03-22T04:43:05.001+01:002014-03-22T04:43:05.001+01:00Pristina it's 3rd busiest airport in ex-Yugosl...Pristina it's 3rd busiest airport in ex-Yugoslavia.

As I said, the Kosovar market in my opinion is suited for a model that offers low-cost fares but does not charge extortionate fees for non-essential services such as checked luggage. Pegasus is an example of such an airline. If Pegasus were to fly west of Ksoovo, rather than east, we would have a genuine game changer. easyjet is also a pretty good fit, but they do charge for checked luggage (often as much as the air fare itself) and do not offer daily flights and, therefore, sufficient flexibility.<br /><br />So, no, PRN is absolutely in no way better or worse than SKP, SJJ or TSR.<br /><br />"AnonymousMarch 20, 2014 at 5:19 PM<br />@Visit Kosovo<br /><br />Why in the world you believe that Pristina deserves such a great and 'high class' service?

Why not permanently lower fees if you want to attract higher number of passengers?<br />If you do do offer subsidies then offer to everyone, no preferential treatment. Just my opinion.<br /><br />@Miroslav<br />Kosova Airlines exists as the national airline of Kosovo but has no fleet. Instead, the owners use the brand to sell air tickets for other airlines that fly to PRN. Their original strategy was sound, but did not work out. They wanted to protection and reciprocity with all countries, i.e. if Swiss airlines operate 2 flights per day to PRN then so should Kosovar airlines. But, to protect passenger rights no one wanted to offer such protection to them. So, their whole business model collapsed. No, they operate with zero risk and sell tickets of other airlines (Germanwings amongst others) and take a slide of the cake for doing so.<br />My brother travelled with Scanderbeg Airlines from JFK to PRN. The only good thing about that was the fact that you take off in NYC and land in PRN non-stop. But the service was non-existent. Load factor was very good, but I am not sure that translated into good profits. These two hardly corelate.<br /><br />@Purger<br />Croatia Airlines has cancelled tonight's flight to PRN. I understand they don't want to loose money, but as a passenger the risk is too high. I love their Dash 8 birds and the service is good, but I need to know that the flight will actually happen. I very much hope this changes and we have another option out of PRN, but as far as *A is concerned, JP carried PRN pax to FRA/MUC and OS to VIE so I will be happy if OU leaves *A and offers something different.Visit Kosovohttp://www.visitkosovo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-39704673231119255412014-03-20T14:30:00.169+01:002014-03-20T14:30:00.169+01:00OT

No Zagreb UA...@MiroslavMarch 20, 2014 at 10:52 AM<br /><br /><br />No Zagreb UAE link yet, there are issues with crew rest, or alternatively Ethiad or Emirats would need to send A330 or B777 to cover Zagreb as long hull destination to circumvent these rules, and there's no market for that, unless Emirates introduces Dubai - Zagreb - Vienna or Frankfurt flights. <br /><br />As to Asian tourist, most come via Frankfurt and Istanbul with few airlnes having direct charters to Zagreb,. Korean Air, Air China, JAL to name few. And yes Asia is very important market for Croatia, 114000 Chinese, 160 000 Japanese, 87000 South Korean tourists visited Zagreb and Croatia last year, Asian tourists account for 4% of Croatia's foreign tourist arrivals, or around 505 000 visitors in 2013. <br /><br />Australian, N Zealand are also important tourist markets for Croatia with 140 000 tourists but still no Air Link. Asian/Australian market is rapidly growing tourist market for Croatia with 30% yoy growth, and same is expected this, this year Croatia is expecting 14 million tourists and 80 million nights. <br /><br />OT, <br /><br />On totally off topic subject, seen new plans for Zagreb airport, with 10 passenger boarding bridges, revised architectural drawings, (my firm has done some consultancy work for new French owners) there are only slight deviations, from the original plan, there'll be one underground level with luggage sorting facility and a food court/restaurants. <br /><br />Only one 80x80m box for wide body and 9 medium 50x50m boxes, there'll be additional 8 50x50 boxes for LCC with 2 medium boxes that can be used by one wide body. <br /><br />New French owners plan to build 58m ATC tower around 500m from present terminal where current main Air Force hanger is, that will be knocked down in 2015 and cleared by mid 2015 with construction starting immediately after that, should be up and running by mid 2017.
