From the Balkans you have Aegean, Tarom and and Air Serbia expanding there by offering more and more flights which enable connections at their respective hubs. In order for Belgrade airport to stay competitive and to have its customers satisfied (which increases the likelihood of them transiting through there again in the future) they need to know who their immediate competitors are and what product they offer. I used these three airlines because they are not that different in size and they operate from the same geographical area. Bottom line is that Belgrade airport is lagging behind both Athens and Bucharest and unless it starts to realize that, it will not have satisfied customers. I am sure we all have one or two airports which we try to avoid when flying. Belgrade needs to do a lot of work in order not to become that. <br />Belgrade (or Serbia for that matter) does not need a second airport. Yes, I know many people from the south want Nis to work but at this point in time there is no economic justification for more money to be thrown into the project. The best case scenario is for Air Serbia to launch flights but I do not see any other solution in the foreseeable future.<br />Even our neighbours in Bucharest closed one of their airports and they concentrated all the traffic on Otopeni, the same with the Hungarians and Ferihegy. <br /><br />The three airports mentioned above might be hundreds of miles away but their local carriers are competing for the same transit passengers which kind of makes them direct competitors. If the Air Serbia model works then the percentage of O&D passengers will be considerably reduced making these airports 'even closer to each other.' Aegean carried around 250.000 passengers in Athens this past January which means that they are not that far ahead.<br /><br />Also, both Moscow and London are probably more high-yielding than all of ex-Yugoslavia put together and then multiplied by 10. It's pathetic to compare the two cases.Nemjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529227010459770718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-77608963866972531012014-02-12T06:13:15.329+01:002014-02-12T06:13:15.329+01:00I never quite understood why people get so excited...I never quite understood why people get so excited over a 25 minute connection.

And how does it compare with:<br />- VIE: 25 minutes<br />- MUC: 30 minutes<br /><br />Transfer VIA VIENNA is quicker, easier and more convenient than at many other airports.<br />The minimum connecting time of 25 minutes (for Star Alliance flights) is one of the shortest in Europe. Coordinated flight schedules, particularly to and from eastern and western Europe and for intercontinental flights, make for rapid transfer to any destination. The distances between your arrival and departure gates are short. http://www.viennaairport.com/jart/prj3/va/main.jart?rel=en&content-id=1249344074235&reserve-mode=active<br /><br /><br />See what I mean?
