Great news! Let's work on atracting new carriers to LJU now.
ReplyDeleteSo at the end of the year we can looking forward about 1.7 mio PAX
DeleteIt was about time. LJU had 1.67 mil pax in 2008.
Delete2008 was special - Slovenian EU presidency.
DeleteIf they continue with (yearly) average growth of 20%, they could surpase pre-crisis record of 2008 by few thousand pax. Also if they'll have e.g. 15% yearly growth, it will still be a lot better (some 200k better) than in 2016.
DeleteI hope I did the math right :)
getting back close on SKP
ReplyDeleteCould we expect 2 million next year? These are some spectacular results. LJU's main goal should be to position itself as the cheaper alternative to VCE and ZAG.
ReplyDeleteNot unless new carriers come and new routes are launched
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteMelania does job ;)
ReplyDeleteNow imagine how the growth would look like if they would attract more LCC traffic?
ReplyDeleteWhat's about Adria's flight to Moscow SVO? And why does not Adria move this flight to DME? All Star Alliance is in DME. Only this flight does not fit into Adria's three daily flight periods in LJU.
