Belgrade Airport shines in 2012

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport recorded its busiest year on record since opening its doors back in 1962. Nikola Tesla Airport welcomed 3.363.919 passengers, a 7.7% improvement on 2011. As a result, Belgrade surpassed its previous busiest year, 1987, when it saw 3.311.951 passengers pass through its doors. Besides an extensive domestic and European network at the time, the airport also offered direct flights to Africa, Asia, Australia and North America. Furthermore, that same year, JAT Yugoslav Airlines handled 4.531.000 passengers.

Belgrade Airport recorded a busy December. It handled 224.869 passengers compared to 217.684 in 2011, an increase of 3.3%. This is despite a significant drop in the number of operated flights. A total of 3.202 arrivals and departures were recorded, down from 3.425 the year before. Belgrade has retained its position as the busiest airport in the former Yugoslavia.

In 2013 the airport will have to deal with the withdrawal of two airlines. The low cost Niki is being dissolved by its owners Air Berlin and will suspend flights to the Serbian capital later this month. Furthermore, Air France will pull out due to its own cost cutting measures in March. On the other hand, the airport will welcome Pegasus Airlines which launches flights from Istanbul in February. Returning this summer are Croatia Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines with seasonal flights while Wizz Air will launch services to four new destinations. Furthermore, several other airlines have expressed interest to innagurate flights to the Serbian capital in 2013 including TAP Air Portugal and AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines.

Below you can view Belgrade Airport’s five most successful years since its opening in 1962

    Way to go BEG!!! Hope this will continue and that next year BEG will beat SOF. Nevertheless, record has not been surpassed. Namely, record year indeed was 1987 but the official figure of PAX handled is 3.445.606. This means that 2012 is the second best year. Yet, success is impressive!

      SOF lost lots of airlines but still maintained its growth. It will have BCN by Vueling, STN & SXF by U2, BER by Air Berlin. Not to mention the extremely busy Jan-Mar ski flights from UK and Russia. easyJet increased their flights to London, Wizzair have a 3rd aircraft and also increasing their flights to LTN. Tough competition in 2013!

      Jan&Feb are busy in last couple of years in SOF so were in 2012 but BEG still managed to get close to SOF. Tough competition, I agree but not elusive.

    According to the data that used to be published at www.beg.aero for many years, "busiest" year is still 1987 when 3.404.665 were handled. So unfortunatelly, it is not the year when the most passengers passed through the gates. Interestingly, the data for all other years mentioned in the article is perfectly in line with the data that had been published until some years ago.
    If we have in mind that number of passengers is where it was some 25 years ago I think we really don't have too many reasons to be so proud of previous year results.
    On the other hand, comparing these results to ones from just several years ago (eg. 2009) this is very encouraging. I do hope that NT can mantain growth at about 5% during next several years, it could be realistic scenario.
    Of course, I wish the same (or even better) to all airports in the region.
    Cheers from Belgrade,
    Dejan

      No, Zagreb is going to go up fast now, in 1987 Dubrovnik handled 1.46 million and Zagreb had 1.87 million pax, so there was always this slight advantage Zagreb had, but now Zagreb is moving further away from rest of the pack in Croatia and in 2013 Zagreb numbers should improve considerably, with arival of 3-4 major airlines and massive investments in to new terminal things look really good for Zagreb.

      Air France will most likely get major share at Zagreb airport once new terminal is complied and Lufthansa not to be left behind is certain to take great interest as well, German Wings will play important role in Lufthansa's plans.

      Than you have British Airways coming strong clearly they see a great potential in Zagreb which had 17.5% increase in tourist visits in 2012 and 15% increase in 2011, indicating that 2013 will also be just as important for tourist arrivals. With Delta Airlines potentially coming to Zagreb in 2014, followed by KLM, SAS, LOT, Iberia, Air Swiss and Allitalia things look great for Zagreb airport.

      Quite possibly Zagreb airport will surpass Belgrade airport by 2020 as the buisest airport in Ex-Yugoslavia.
