3 mln.! Congratulations, Zagreb!
ReplyDeleteGreat. Just imagine what would happen if ZAG had a low cost airline like EasyJet.
ReplyDeleteLarger crowds? Bunch of poor travellers? No thanks!
Deletewhat a ridiculous comment from a millionaire ^^
Deleteas if Croatian tourism wasnt made of "large crowds". How many pax had Easy Jet in Croatia? 1 million? Oh funny
DeleteWe'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.
DeleteSmall 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 :)
DeleteAdd FRA to your list.
DeleteChrist 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.
DeleteLow invome travellers??? Who are you, Rockefeller??? Ma pokri se i srami se! Nemas pojma tko leti LCC. Sjedni, 1.
DeleteTko 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.
DeleteO jadno moje. Od svega za što ti u ovoj državi uzimaju iz "tvog džepa", ti se brineš oko LCCa?
DeleteBravo.
ZAG is starting to rely on EK. As you can clearly see, figures doubled after JUN.
ReplyDeleteQR 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.
Deleteso we already know that AC Rouge is coming this summer, also Aeagan.
ReplyDelete+ 5 new routes OU and
+ 3 new european carriers
a lot of seasonal routes will be here again, some charters, I think Zagreb will have growth around +11% in the 2018. too :)
Which 5 OU routes?
DeleteWhich 3 new european carriers?
To be announced soon, Anon 3:35!
DeleteYeah, sure.
DeleteBravo, ZAG!
DeleteU will see. Just wait until middle of Feb and OU will publish everything :)
DeleteDanasnji ZAG-DXB pun do cepa
ReplyDeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteRegarding 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.
ReplyDeleteI am happy with the way Croatia and Zagreb are developing its tourist product. What is missing is business...hopefully that will improve soon too.

ReplyDeleteOU 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.
DeleteAnd numbers on return legs?
DeleteSorry, I work at FRA terminal so I could only get access to the departing flights.
DeleteThose are catastrophic loads! Why not sent the Q400?
DeleteYou didn't understand. OU is a 5 star airline and they wanted to give maximum comfort to their passengers.
DeleteIn ZAG
ReplyDelete-Air Serbia used B737 today and yesterday
-LH from MUC with A321
-Aeroflot keeps using A320
JU and LH sent larger aircraft due to operational reasons.
DeleteASL'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.
