| Adria expands its fleet to twelve aircraft |
Adria Airways has confirmed it will lease an Airbus A319 aircraft this summer, making it the third jet of its type in the carrier’s fleet and the third plane to join the airline this season. The aircraft will enter the fleet in late May. Earlier this month, a high-density A320 joined Adria on a short-term basis (until late October), while a Bombardier CRJ700, nicknamed Lodz, also entered into service. As a result, the Slovenian carrier will operate a total of twelve aircraft this summer - one CRJ200 and CRJ700 each, six CRJ900s, three A319s and one A320. All of the jets with exception to the CRJ200 are on lease.
The airline’s fleet expansion is in line with statements made by Adria’s CEO, Mark Anžur, late last year when he announced plans for up to six aircraft to join the carrier by 2016. “In the short-term, Adria plans to wetlease several A320-family aircraft with a total of five or six jets to join the fleet by 2016. We are also considering leasing aircraft larger than the A320”, Mr. Anžur said. The CEO noted that Adria will need higher capacity aircraft in order to keep up with expected growth trends this year. The Slovenian carrier will inaugurate flights to Stockholm tomorrow and services to Berlin on Friday. Earlier this month the airline introduced new flights from Tirana to Paris and Brussels and from Lodz to Amsterdam, while seasonal services from Maribor to London Southend Airport will be launched in June.
The Slovenian carrier has recorded a strong start to the year, handling 203.633 passengers during the first quarter, an increase of 8% compared to the same period in 2014. Last year, Adria carried 1.113 million passengers and managed to emerge from the red. Its net profit topped 921.000 euros, with a net operating profit of three million euros. The Slovenian carrier plans to hit two million passengers per year and see a 220 million euro turnover by 2020, supported by an expanding fleet and several new bases across Europe. In January, three state-owned asset management institutions signed an agreement on the joint sale of a combined 91.58% stake in the flag carrier.

Hope this is because of good loads!
Can anyone provide me with the legroom for all ex-YU carriers? (Wizz Air included)
I flew on YU-API and YU-APF recently and found the legroom to be rather tight.
However, looking at JU's website, it says that their A319s have 120 seats but didn't they add an extra row of seats about this time last year?
Ja bi pre voleo da letim sa 7333 nego sa Atr 72.
Nema potrebe da leti A319:

Example, Croatian Airlines leasing fleet of Q400s on 10 year lease to own, what that means is that OU is paying around $3.75 million per aircraft to Lease owner, netting lessor $700-800 000 per aircraft per year. after 10 years OU will own the fleet of Q400s but lessor would have also pocketed 7-8 million per aircraft in same period.
It would seem that OU is out of pocket by buying 10 year lease, as lessor got these aircraft at 10-15% discount they didn't need to pay full $35 million asking price instead they only paid $30 million, OU would have paid $35 million up front per aircraft but would have had to raise massive loan to do so, incurring fees and interest.
This way OU pays for aircraft which are insured and will own once the lease expires in 10 years time, at which point OU can sell the said aircraft back to lessor or use the aircraft as it wishes.
This is how most air carriers these days operate. In the past air carrier would simply call on manufacturer and buy the aircraft at said price, which is what OU did in 2008, when they ordered 4 brand new A319s, problem is if carrier doesn't have $320 million, reason why OU right now is in rather precarious position.
ps. naravno da i iz beca ima transfernih putnika ali ajde prvo razjasni svoju izjavu pa da krenemo dalje...

Croatia airlines - 12 planes
Trade Air - 3 planes
Air Croatia - 1 plane
European Coastal Airlines - 2 planes

Hvala unapred.

Maybe just maybe there is actually need for more flights to Dubai due to increased presence of our main export brand ( if you know what I mean :D )
If you want to see real impact this business makes on airline traffic, show up for weekend departures at Burbank airport (BUR) going to LAS. Huge business.
Пре једно две недеље на лету за Ларнаку било је 67 путника и ишао је А320 али због робе.

Hilarious SNS Airlines.
Ne brini, znaju oni da naprave raspored. Za pocetak, aerodrom je sada pust od ponoci do pet ujutro. Svaki 737 moze svaku noc da napravi let do Turske ili Grcke i nazad za to vreme, itd

With Wizzair reductions last year, 5 or 6 charter companies being turned down by ministry, pull out of Easy, and so on there is no hope of high digits.Other than extra 2 frequencies from Qatar in July nothing new in BEG. I guess its time for Croatia to shine now. BTW there will be no new routes for this year, other then maybe Pristina which is still unconfirmed. Some guy yesterday also posted that we should expect route cuts during winter. Etihad fairy tale is over :P

Most are permanently grounded. YU-ANV looks like it could be put back in service very quickly. It even has proper engine covers.
Zna se vrlo dobro ko pljuje ASL .
Sa oba dve se strane malo preteruje.

Predpostavljam da će biti serija 500, međutim, nikad se ne zna.
