Cargo +39%? Wooow the massive growth is just not receding! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteCargo is really impressive but I also think it's impressive how similar January and February are.
Deletewould be good to see the import/export breakdown of it all. Though it is generally known, we export artillery shells and import Chinese gadgets the most.
DeleteAgricultural produce is also exported via Egyptair.
DeleteMakes me think if TK Cargo will add some more flights.
Congratulations BEG! If we had another day it would have been over 300.000 for sure!
ReplyDeleteI hope JU pulls its act together real soon otherwise foreign carriers will eat away its marketshare.
Is Wizz Air growing or just reshuffling?
ReplyDeleteBEG added some 15.000 passengers in February. Not bad at all since JU is struggling.
ReplyDeleteLufthansa did not add flights to BEG in a looong time.
ReplyDeleteEtihad increased something?

DeleteVery good news, this summer will be even more impressive with all those extra charters and scheduled flights.
ReplyDeleteINI published its numbers too.
ReplyDeleteJan-Feb 2017: 43.000 passengers
Jan-Feb 2018: 55.806 passengers
February jumped from 21.987 to 27.806!
:O
DeleteINI is solidly handling 30.000 passengers during slow months. There is only Stockholm that was added in recent months, no?
Anyone else but LX announced more INI flights?
DeleteNope. i think this is it for INI for at least two years. Not much where airline can expand.
DeleteOMG IMPRESSIVE!!! When will INI hit half a million? Is it going to beat ZAD?
DeleteIf INI keeps on growing like this then we might see them pass 400.000 passengers this year. Wizz Air's Vienna flight should help with bringin in more passengers.
DeleteINI-VIE will seriously affect OS' flight from SKP.
I agree that SKP-VIE will be hurt by INI-VIE especially if they deploy the A321 and lets see what happens tomorrow in VIE with W6!
DeleteMaybe that's why they introduced OHD-VIE but not SKP-VIE. Smart move really.
DeleteAeroflot used A321 several times during February on its flight to and from Moscow :)
ReplyDeleteHope ASL has some increase in number of passengers as well.
No they don't unfortunately, they even cancelled today's 17:00 departure meaning that they are low on passengers even on this iconic route.
DeleteThis is very strange. BEG lists JU 654 at 17h on Thursdays in seasonal timetable, but no flight on a departure page for today?! The only cancellation listed today is JU 172 for Podgorica.
Delete5% is a nice increase indeed meaning that BEG can maybe reach over 6 million this year.
ReplyDeleteOver 6 millions ? They need about 13.5 % average growth. I really think it's difficult.
DeleteLook at all the airline that are launching flights. Also the Chinese ambassador to Serbia announced the introduction of flights to Shanghai.
DeleteWhere was Shanghaii flight introduced, is there a link to news report?
DeleteIt was on N1's news today, the ambassador himself said that they are working on it.
DeleteWhat's ASL share in these figures?
ReplyDeletearound 64% in February since most airlines cut or suspend most flights.
