Belgrade decline continues into second month

Belgrade Airport records weaker November results

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport has recorded its second consecutive month of declining passenger numbers with both Air Serbia and foreign carriers reducing their operations to and from the Serbian capital in November. The airport welcomed 299.113 passengers, a decrease of 5% compared to the same month last year. The figure was accompanied by a notable decline in the number of operated flights, which stood at 3.907, down 9.7% on November 2014. Over the past eleven months, Nikola Tesla Airport handled 4.469.083 passengers, an increase of 3.7% compared to the same period in 2014. Aircraft movements stood at 54.396, up 0.5%. The airport needs to handle a further 169.495 passengers in December in order to surpass 2014s end-of-year result and register its busiest year on record, which it is expected to achieve.

Despite discouraging trends over the past two months, Belgrade Airport's Managing Director, Saša Vlaisavljević, is adamant the airport will continue to grow in 2016. "Over the past four years, Belgrade Airport has seen its numbers grow year on year. To be more precise, an additional 1.5 million passengers have been added, meaning numbers have doubled. It is interesting to note that this year an average of 13.517 passengers were handled on a daily basis, or 563 per hour, which is nine travellers per minute. Estimates show that our growth trend will continue in 2016 as well, averaging between 4% and 6%", Mr Vlaisavljević says.

Next week, Air Serbia will boost its operations in the lead-up to the holiday season, maintaining a similar number of flights to that of last year, but only until mid-January. At the end of the month, on December 30, Russia's Ural Airlines will launch seasonal winter flights from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport to Belgrade, catering for Russian tourists visiting the Kopaonik ski resort on behalf of the TUI Russia tour operator. Flights will run twice per week for most of the winter season until March 23, 2016. Other than the inaugural service on December 30, all others have been put on sale through the airline's website and are available for booking for individual travel as well. The first three flights are currently scheduled to operate with an Airbus A321, after which the service will be maintained with an Airbus A320. Initially, it was planned for Yamal Airlines to operate the flights. So far, for next year, LOT Polish Airlines, Wizz Air and Air Serbia have confirmed new routes from Belgrade, with LOT resuming flights from Warsaw, Wizz introducing services to Baden-Baden and Air Serbia launching New York City. Flight details for Ural Airlines' Moscow service can be found here, while further information for Wizz Air's Baden-Baden flights can be viewed here.

    Traffic declined in three out of the last four months.
    At the same time every other ex-yu airport grew and most of them grew significantly.

      Anon 9:57,

      What exactly fails? BEG will have an overall annual increase of 2-3%, which comes after an unprecedented expansion last year. You want another double digit growth this year? Another million new passengers? Well, it does not really work that way in this industry.

      In addition, foreign carriers do not submit their applications for new routes to Saša Vlaisavljević. They submit them to the Serbian directorate. Also Saša Vlaisavljević has no authority to decide on potential incentives carriers in BEG - the government does it. There is hardly anything that he might do or not do, that would significantly impact the traffic in BEG.

      You should ask yourself why so much hate if so many new passengers gained last year have been retained this year. It is anything but easy to stabilize such rapid expansion - not that Vlaisavljević has any credit there but these doom&gloom theories that surround each and every feed on BEG/ASL are slowly losing any touch with reality or common sense.

      Zaista praviš apsurdna poredjenja koja nisu realna.
      Usput, ne znam o kakvim nazadnima pričaš kad je prošle godine zabeležen uveliko najveći broj putnika koji je Tesla ikada imao. Nisam neki fan naše vlasti, ali zvati ih nazadnim zbog aviokompanije koja je za 2 godine nabavila 11 novih aviona (pritom pre nego što počneš da lupaš mislim na nove u kontekstu novi za aviokompaniju)i aerodroma koji je imao maltene najveći rast u Evropi je blago rečeno skandalozno, čoveku prosto treba šećer i voda dok ti čita komentare.
      A što se Turske konkretno tiče, oni su uložili k'o što neko reče ovde milijarde evra u svoju aviokompaniju i aerodrome. Nije problem, uzmi 10 milijardi na kredit, sagradi treći terminal na Tesli i kupi Air Serbiji 80 aviona, praviće nekoliko godina gubitke koje ćeš pokrivati i eto ti posle toga jedna od većih aviokompanija u Evropi, valjda ćeš tada biti napredan.
      Shvati da je scenario da Tesla dodje do ne znam ni ja 20 miliona putnika do 2025 blago rečeno nerealan i da Srbija kao država nema potencijala koliko ima Turska što se tiče avioprometa. Eventualno ako pola aviokompanija Evrope krepa možda bi postojala šansa da Air Serbia bude ono što je Turkish Airlines.

      Maybe their attitude towards BEG will slowly start to change now when they are finally adding frequencies and destinations.

      I like Air Serbia but let's not forget how expensive they become the moment they are alone in a market. This winter it's the first time that you can find decent fares for most of their destinations.

  4. It's all part of ASL's strategy. Cut capacity to match demand, increase yields, and improve loads. At first I was worried that the load factor would plummet because of decreased connectivity, but it seems like that is not happening.

      JU's loads are better not because of connecting passengers but thanks to much lower fares for BEG-originating passengers.

      Anon 9:41 (maybe it was you) asked why after the success in 2014 BEG has negative growth in three months this year.

      My response underlined the size of growth in 2014. It was unprecedented for the market such as Serbia and for the region such as exYU.

      Such expansion/growth in such market/region is impossible to maintain two years in a row. What matters is to stabilize this newly reached number of pax. And that is exactly what we will see in 2015 and 2016.

      It does not matter what Vlaisavljević said, he is not there to say or do anything useful. What matters if whether BEG is doing good or bad. 2-3% growth this year followed by another 4-5% next year will be quite OK if we take into account the peak that was reached in 2014. Such peaks cannot repeat year on year and it is not a disaster if they do not - that was the point of my previous post.

  5. A great testament to the quality of the contributors to this site, this was predicted well over 6 months ago and is not a surprise. Anyone that starts a discussion about these figures today will be going through the arguments that have been discussed at great lengths months ago now. The real discussion to be had is what will the trends be in the coming 6-12 months.

    No one could have predicted the events in Tunisia, Egypt and recently Turkey and what impact they will have on the Croatian and Montenegrin markets in particular. So, next year should be another interesting one.

    P.S. This weekend I flew both A350 and B787. Both with QR, both short flights and both Y class. I have flown the Dreamliner quite a few times and I referred the A350 (at least the QR config). Could have been the novelty though.

    Air Serbia stations and trip-report: Istanbul

    IST-BEG on JU553 yesterday, YU-API circa 40 pax, ~90 pax on the incoming flight. ASL departs at a time when IST is almost empty, queues at security and immigration are very short. A sharp contrast with the early afternoon departure of Jat Airways where 2 hours would barely be enough to catch the flight. There is some improvement in terms of signage and staff that can be found around the airport. The terminal is clean, worn out at places. The lady at check in doing Istanbul for years said this flight was an exception due to low season and that it records 70-80 pax on average, often being full, while summer was constantly overbooked with Air Serbia having no spare A320 to send. What surprised me enough was to notice that much larger airlines such as Iberia or Air France are sending nothing bigger than the A319 to IST, with Turkish probably getting a larger chunk of the route. Gate changed 15 minutes before departure where Madrid was placed to our one, plane late 1 hour from Belgrade - writing these notes during this delay. Structure of pax mostly Serbian O&D. A couple of Asian people were transiting in Belgrade en route to AUH. Service wise the FA's seemed professional, sandwich with drinks and a cookie were served. In a bit of a let down the paper 'gift bag' was dropped making the whole service a bit less ceremonial and leaving it without a specific Air Serbia's touch. However the food was tasty and in sufficient amounts. On the other hand, a plastic envelope with Air Serbia's texture for the safety instructions and in-flight magazine was introduced alike in QR. Landing in Belgrade was done in the densest of fogs, a CAT III approach from runway 12.

    All in all, Air Serbia seems to be stabilizing and same goes for product which appears to be constant along all the flights I took this year. As a passenger I would rate it 4/5 the one point removed simply because of an absence of details that would make Air Serbia stand aside and seem exclusive to it's clients. Belgrade airport was as usual very efficient (if to exclude rude police agents in the gate asking passengers to show their passports), in about 10-15 min. I was out. The new Air Serbia transfer desk seemed well staffed and organized.

    I also flew yesterday with Air Serbia aboard a A319 and have a couple of comments:

    - Plane clean and on time
    - 1 perser (called herself the Cabin Senior) and 3 flight attendants. The perser was nowhere to be seen during the whole flight apart from boarding and arrival
    - No paper bags with catering. 1 flight attendant was serving food - she seemed to be panicking and working like a machine, taking a sandwich, cookie, napkin and wet tissue for each passenger only ushering the word 'izvolite'
    - the other two flight attendants were serving drinks. One passenger asked for Coke and was told that only Cola Light was left, which the pax accepted. A few rows later, they ran out of Cola Light so the flight attendant ran to the front of the plane to get more (regular!) Coke. Laziness?
    - The Wifi was working, but the mobile network was not working.
    - I didn't feel any special hospitality onboard. I fly a lot (not just with JU), and wouldn't call the service out of the ordinary, just regular airline service. I think that A3 has a much better service than JU if we are talking about the region.
    Overall, 3/5, which is not bad.

      A3 is the best airline that exists. Best service, best operations, best strategy, best management. Other may think they know something but they don't. A major restructuring of European air traffic is behind the corner, after which no more than 5-6 airlines will remain in the entire Europe (including LCCs). A3 will be the largest and by far the best of them. Even now I don't think any reason for another airline to exist.

      Where did i say Jat? I was talking about Aegean. They use to serve a hot meal to BEG (in my case it was some pasta). Now they offer almost nothing. And to the other anonymous I don't care about the meal I just said that the statement that their service is better than before is false.

      Actually, A3 offers on the BEG-ATH route:
      - a welcome candy (when all pax are seated)
      - a sandwich
      - a 7 days croissant (sweet)
      - drinks

      The same stuff that JU offers, only more presentable and with a smile. And may I also say, at a lower price.

    OT: James Hogan mentionet Serbia and NY flights in one interview today:

    "Structurally, we continue to work on how we get economies of scales collectively. As a group we operate 700 aircraft. That means you can take Air Serbia with 10 A320s that we’re able to get the price of A320s at our price, which they would never have gotten as a standalone airline. They’ve just announced that they’re going to operate from June from Belgrade to New York. They could not have even introduced that because they’re taking an aircraft from the family. They have to introduce a whole fleet management group."

      Earlier estimates for the airport were in the 5 to 5,5 mil range based on Air Serbia growth. Instead of pointing to Air Serbia for “failure” to grow, why don’t we look at EXTERNAL events that occurred in the past two years that limited number of Air Serbia passengers at BEG, just a random selection:

      - two A6 registered Airbus planes in Air Serbia were told they can’t operate in certain EU countries.
      - UAE investors interested in airport reportedly turned away by EU in 2013
      - EC permanent investigation of Air Serbia
      - Regional acquisition of 2-3 airlines reportedly blocked by political means
      - Permits for USA flights slower than molasses (for example, bilateral agreed in principle going completely “dark” from Nov ’14 to Mar ’15 or mom LH getting approvals for Eurowings and SunExpress in about month and a half each, while ASL is in the fifth month and counting)
      - Neighbours’ reaction “they don’t have approvals to fly here!” when Air Serbia announced ZAG
      - No deal yet on PRN flights
      - Turkey not letting Air Serbia back to IST from SAW, and so on…

      Can you imagine where would BEG and ASL be now if none of the negative external events above happened? Therein lies the explanation for limited growth.

      Tuzla is under equipped to sustain all year round ops as well is Nis as well was Skopje. However this has not prevented Wizz Air to base 3 aircraft in SKP and 4th on the way. Revenues are way too good to be thretened with even weeks of driversions. Low vis ops in Tuzla are on the way with somewhat reduced minimum for departure however landing minima will not change for a while which will give us oportunity to see Tuzla flights in BEG quite often.
