Wow!! Nice. Does anyone know how JU performed in July? Those extra seats should have helped.
ReplyDeleteJU operational results in July :
Delete339K passengers (down 2,7%)
Operations down 9%
PLF 81,5% (down 0,7%)
APK down 2%
So yet another month that foreign carriers are responsible for the growth. Such a shame. I can only imagine how many passengers the airport would handle if JU had its act together.
DeleteBravo Srbija!
ReplyDeleteKaže se "Bravo Srbijo". Vokativ, druže vokativ.
DeleteThe dude writes in English. English doesn't have vocative.
DeleteBravo Beograd, samo reci hvale, svaka cast!Definitivno ce biti 5.5 miliona.
ReplyDeleteBravo BeogradE. Zagrepčanski lokalni dijalekt je kakjavski, pa im se može progledati kroz prste što su u svađi sa vokativom, ali ne znam žašto ljudi iz Srbije prihvataju ovu naopaku gramatiku.
DeleteGreat result BEG. Not quite as strong as Split Airports record over the weekend
ReplyDeleteJust couldn't help yourself
DeleteMuch much better than Split ... a year is made of 12 mths, not just one weekend in July.
DeleteConpare Belgrade with Zagreb. You would expect Split to be higher than Belgrade at this time of year. Belgrade can't offer the same as Split, yet it is still behind.
DeleteWow! Amazing result! As for the comparisons with Split, it only goes to show what a great result this is in terms of air traffic, since the number of visitors to Belgrade can't compare to Split at the hight of the summer season, yet their airports' results are similar.
ReplyDeleteOf course they can't be compared as the two airports are fundamentally different and they cater for a different kind of market.
DeleteAs for BEG, what's especially great is that foreign carriers are doing really well. Transavia is flying to full the whole summer!
As one commentator recently wrote here, a flight he took from ATH to BEG was full- but some 60 percent went on to EU destinations, they were thus transferring in BEG. If they flew both ways via BEG they actually account for 4 passengers, since they are transferring. At Split there is NO one transferring, it is 100% Point to Point and every passenger is counted only once. Considering this the 630.000 Pax that SPU had in July transfer into roughly 1 Million Passengers at a HUB-Airport! So you really cannot compare SPU and BEG.
DeleteHahaha you make it sound as if ASL invented that system, it's a norm and OU does it as well in ZAG.
DeleteHowever, since we can't compare BEG to SPU due to latter's supposed superiority, what will happen if we compare SPU to let's say RHO or HER?
You can't compare them, you choose two islands. :)
DeleteIslands whose airports mostly handle tourists.
DeleteOk, look at Faro in Portugal which is smaller than Split yet it handles over 7 million passengers.
That's how site gets to record number of visits and comments: feed the trolls.
