Ljubljana, Skopje and Sarajevo record growth

Ljubljana Airport sees growth as Skopje and Sarajevo break records

The airports in Ljubljana, Skopje and Sarajevo have all seen their passenger numbers grow during the second last month of the year. Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport welcomed 84.507 passengers, a modest increase of 1.1% on the same period last year. Growth was achieved despite a significant dip in the number of operated flights. Slovenia’s busiest airport registered 1.915 flight operations, down 11.1% compared to 2013. It handled some 773.000 kilograms of cargo, a decrease of 3.6%. So far this year, Jože Pučnik Airport has seen 1.226.947 travellers, up 3.1%. A total of 8.900 tonnes of commercial cargo has been delivered while the number of flights decreased 5.6%.

Skopje Alexander the Great Airport continued with its growth streak in November. The airport welcomed more passengers than Ljubljana, handling a total of 86.857 travellers during the month, an increase of 21.3%. On the other hand, the country’s second international airport, Ohrid, saw 1.038 travellers pass through its doors, all of them using Helvetic Airways’ Zurich service. Overall, Macedonia’s busiest airport has welcomed a record breaking 1.120.870 passengers so far this year, up 21%, and has registered its busiest year since opening its doors. Almost half of the passengers, or 45.5%, travelled on Wizz Air flights to and from Skopje.

    OT but somewhat related to Adria: an interesting article on 'ghost airports' in Poland - and it includes Lodz.
    http://www.globalconreview.com/news/polish-ghost-airports-b8u0il8t-e0u-fina4n4c4i4ng/

    A quote:
    "He added that the fees charged to airlines for using the facilities were a problem.
    'The relationship between the local airports and low-cost carriers is suicidal. Nothing will ever be enough. At some point they will say, ‘If you don’t give us more, we’ll go.’ And they’ll go.'
