ReplyDeleteBRAVO BRAVO PUY!!
Bravo Pula!
ReplyDeletePula going ways, clearly, hopefully 710 000 this year, or more. Next, 750 000 quite possible, even 800 000.
ReplyDeleteI think 1 million can be achieved by 2021. Jet2.com are expanding agressively next year, which means other airlines will be forced to bring bigger planes to compete which will lead to more numbers. So given the current growth rate for 2017 was +37%, then this year 15% and if it maintains a growth of +15 then:
Delete2019 - 750,000
2020 - 862,500
2021 - 991,875
Interesting times ahead.
1 million is possible

DeleteHow will Jet2.com expand in Pula? until now, a rotation to EDI is canceled and BHX gets a rotation. even more planned?
Yes, there will be a new service from Birmingham starting 12/05/2018
DeleteThat’s not really aggressively expanding with one flight per week
DeleteBravo Pula, bravo Istra ��
