Belgrade rocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat growth but what's more important is that even without the Final Four growth would have been between 6% and 7% which is in line with other months this year.
ReplyDeleteI am sure BEG will handle 2.000.000 passenger in the next next week or so.
Bravoooo Beg!!!
ReplyDeleteHealthy growth, when can we expect building the new control tower, they said it would start before Vinci come ?
ReplyDelete"Construction of the tower will begin in the autumn of 2018 with the structure to be completed and operational within a year"

The current was is also under reconstruction, I think it is getting a new facade. Badly needed facelift.
DeleteIt got a fresh coat of paint.
DeleteAnother strong month! Nice to see May closer to 500.000 than 400.000.
ReplyDeleteWOW! NICE!
ReplyDeleteBEG added 119.483 passengers this year so we are at 5.462.903 so far if there is no growth until the end of the year.
So if they grow at this rate this year there will be 5.6 million.
DeleteThat is in line with what they announced for this year.
DeleteIf summer does well then we are looking at 5.7. Growth rate has been steadily increasing.
DeleteThe oil crisis and subsequent fare growth might slow it down a bit.
DeleteWell given that easyJet is adding 7 weekly departures I think fares are not going to skyrocket.
DeleteOdlicno, jos kada dodje Vinci ocekuje se veci rast. Air Serbia radi na uvodjenju druge long haul linije na jesen, pregovori su i sa kinezima oko linije za Sangaj, s tim sto se ovaj put ne radio o Hainan-u. Preuzimanjem od strane Vinci-ja sprema se i "veci" dolazak jednog low cost prevoznika...medjutim to nije Ryan sto ne iskljucuje mogucnost da i oni uvedu par linija ali sa svojom cenovnom politikom to mi sada ne deluje realno.
ReplyDeleteЈедино ако Изиџет планира да се шири у Београду јер не видим ко би други могао а да није Рајанер.
DeleteВуелинг је могућност али само на линији из Беча, остало је све танко.
I am surprised LO didn't go double daily. They more or less operate E95 all the time.
DeleteNisam ljubitelj LCC prevoznika i ne volim da me pretresaju pri ulasku u avion, oni su izmejdu ostalog doveli do toga da skoro ni jedan prevoznik u Evoropi vise za najnizu tarifu ne nudi prtljag. Sve se svelo na reket iza coska.
DeleteVueling might extend Barcelona and introduce Vienna. They could also introduce Rome as they have a big base there
DeleteDoubt it, all those destinations are already maxed out.
DeleteBarcelona could go to year round with good promotion of Belgrade there.
DeleteVienna is badly needed as market is huge. For good price people will switch from buses and cars.
Rome is hard but if used for transfers might work (they have a huge base there).
Of course the results are brilliant although I was secretly hoping for 550 thousand.
ReplyDeleteCool! Nice to see more growth in BEG. This should be a good summer season.
ReplyDeleteGreat! May 2017/May 2018 +46.574 passengers
ReplyDeleteINI welcomed some 29.906 passengers in May. So far this year the airport had 145.067 passengers up from 124.917 last year.
ReplyDeleteBravo INI! Hope citizens manage to defend their airport!
DeleteDefend their airport? Lol. Defend it from higher level of funding needed for future growth. Everything in Serbia has to be so politicised.
DeleteNothing prevents the Government to invest in locally owned company. Bad intentions and shaddy deals are problem here.
