Wizz Air will base three additional aircraft, add nineteen new routes and offer over two million seats for sale from the former Yugoslavia this coming summer season, in what will be the airline's biggest single expansion in the region to date. Skopje Airport will continue to maintain its position as the low cost carrier's largest base in the former Yugoslavia from which it will add an extra 21 weekly flights and launch four new routes. The network expansion will be made possible with the stationing of a fourth aircraft in the city from July. From Macedonia's second international airport in Ohrid, Wizz will maintain four weekly flights to Basel, up from three last year, and two weekly services to London Luton.

Wizz Air will offer the same number of weekly departures and destinations from both Belgrade and Tuzla. The two cities will see additional frequencies on existing services, the launch of new routes and the stationing of a second Airbus A320 aircraft. As a result of Wizz Air's continued growth, Tuzla Airport now anticipates handling 480.000 passengers this year. The no frills airline will further strengthen its operations in both Serbia and Bosnia, with the carrier to up its number of flights from Niš Constantine the Great Airport to Basel from two to three weekly, while services to Dortmund, Memmingen, Eindhoven and Malmo will continue to be maintained twice per week. Meanwhile, Wizz will launch flights from Budapest to Sarajevo next month, making the Bosnian capital its second destination in the country.

The airline will introduce two weekly flights from Budapest to the Montenegrin capital and will maintain two weekly services from both Milan and Memmingen, as was the case last year.

It will accompany the daily seasonal service between London Luton and Split from June 17 until September 17. Summer flights between Warsaw and Split will also resume on June 17 and operate twice per week until mid-September.

same goes to Ryanair fot not picking up SKP-FCO/CIA after Alitalia left
Ryanair are sneaking in cities where Wizz are still not present or little presence e.g. Oradea, many Polish cities, Plovdiv. They'd better hurry before the bigger shark gets it all.

2011: 541 Serbs in Malta
2016: 1,246 Serbs working in Malta
"In April 2016 there were 1,468 Filipinos working in Malta, topping the list of third country nationals working in Malta. The second largest group on the list is made up of 1,246 Serbs."
to give away a cash cow like Switzerland is unbelievable especially when u know its functioning
For Zagreb best option would be EasyJet (base in CDG and ORY, so ADPI which is operator in ZAG) or Norwegian with potential long-haul LCC in future. Those 2 companies are have the best product in LCC and will not leave in second like Ryanair or even Wizzair (BEG and ZAG example).
Tour groups use charter flights which Wizz cannot operate from Serbia. That slice of the cake will go to JU. Wizz can count on individual holidaymakers as well as lower-income diaspora from Malta.
It is also worth noticing that Malta does not enjoy a galore of connections. They have a good choice but it's not crazily good (especially eastwards). I think JU could also count on some locals whose travel plans would match the JU network.
I would be cautious with predictions of Wizz's victory here. LCCs do a great job in connecting Malta to the UK but in the continental Europe anything can happen.
Domination:
ZAG - Eurowings 4 routes
SPU - eaysJet 18 routes
DBV - easyJet 12 routes
ZAD - Ryanair 12 routes
PUY - eaysJet, Norwegian and Eurowings with 4 routes easch
RJK - Eurowings 5 routes
All together last year:
1. Eurowings 34 routes (but 4 of them all year)
2. EasyJet 34 routes
3. Norwegian 23 routes
4. Ryanair 19 routes
5. Jet2 12 routes
All togeter LCC from Croatia 160 rotues last year.
Also, the other Anon's argument was about Ryanair so my response primarily considered the Wizz-Ryan distribution.
Skopje needs serious business lines to Sofia, Athens, Bucharest, Moscow and Warsaw!
Druga opcija je pokretanje baze Eurowingsa neovisno o Croatiji. I to u slučaju da Croatia nastavi funkcionirati po sadašnjim načelima (dok ide), ili da se proda trećoj kompaniji (koja nije LH grupa), ili da se čak i proda LH, ali da LH ovdje vuće dva brenda. Ova posljednja opcija je najmanje realna obzirom na trenutnu strategiju LH.
But in that country there is more passengers than in those 3 combined.
* easyJet and Eurowings dominate in Kosovo.
Of course you can do it in 6 hours if you want. It depends how you drive. But most of people here do it in 3 hours.
Even if it is 4 hours (and it is not) there is no potential for LCC. Even Croatia downsize capacity, and today most of flights are with Q400, unlike before when same frequencies were mostly with A319/A320.
Don't wish something that can happen to you.
Hope you get the point.
Actually, getting the US visa is an extremely fast and straighforward process. Unlike what used to be applying for the Schengen visa, and most certainly unlike anything related to the UK visa.
Of course they can. They just need to base 5-6 aircraft, rather than 1-2, and miracles will start to happen. If they rather not invest in this market, they should continue paying fees as they are.
Rijetko kada idem prema Splitu u top sezoni, daleko više izvan sezone. A i u radnim danima je OK. Cirkus je od petka popodne, do nedjelje kasno navečer. I te dane izbjegavam vožnju dolje. Ili idem avionom ili ne idem (dogovorim druge termine sastanaka). Ali radnim danima možeš proći bez ikakvih prablema i u top sezoni. Ostale mjesece autoput je prazan.
Rayanair?transavia?ili pak netko treci..ima li potencijala?
