    Great. Just imagine what would happen if ZAG had a low cost airline like EasyJet.

      We're talking of airports and LCC offer low level service to their users. We don't need those in our capital, our focus needs to be on legacy airlines. LCC should go to smaller airports like SPU, ZAD where such low income travellers are better suited.

      Small airports like LTN, STN, PRG, BUD, TXL, SXF, CDG, GVA you mean? That where LCC belong to, but not to ZAG? Bunch of poor travellers- finally Zagrebians could fly too :)

    7. Christ almighty. Some here act like we're damn Switzerland. We do need LCC, but not at cost of legacy airlines. Hopefully there will be a healthy balance soon.

      Tko god da letio LCC-om to na kraju plaćamo svi mi kroz subvencije koje im se daju. Stoga neka lijepo lete što dalje od ZAG.

    10. O jadno moje. Od svega za što ti u ovoj državi uzimaju iz "tvog džepa", ti se brineš oko LCCa?
      Bravo.

    ZAG is starting to rely on EK. As you can clearly see, figures doubled after JUN.

      QR also launched 4 additional flights per week, but overall I think that general demand went up. Certainly EK contributed as well, but I wouldn't say that the airport relies on them.

  7. Regarding ZAG,in my opinion I would like to see ZAG have LCC share at least around 20%. Today it is around 7%, which is not good. However, it occurs to me that the airport concesionairre is using this to give OU break for as much is possible in order forcthem to open new routes. So far, it is working. If OU continues doing what it'scbeen doong for the past 2 yeats, then I am happy with this policy. For now...in a few years, more LCCs should be stimulated to come and that will be good for the tourism.

    I am happy with the way Croatia and Zagreb are developing its tourist product. What is missing is business...hopefully that will improve soon too.

    OU 411 FRA-ZAG A319 62/144
    OU 415 FRA-ZAG A319 50/144

    Why not cancel OU 411 and keep on flight at night now in low season?

      I think there is too much capacity from FRA to ZAG. With more and more airlines adding flights passengers have more options. LH already reduced the number of seats.

      Those are catastrophic loads! Why not sent the Q400?

      You didn't understand. OU is a 5 star airline and they wanted to give maximum comfort to their passengers.

      JU and LH sent larger aircraft due to operational reasons.

      ASL's Atr broke down, which is why VIE saw the A319 and B733.

      LH sent the A321 because of mechanical issues with their fleet, that's why the flight was delayed.
