Adria Airways suspends three routes


Adria Airways has quietly discontinued three of its routes out of Ljubljana, with services to Bucharest, Kiev and Warsaw no longer operational or on sale. The airline advertised the three destinations in its recent winter season line-up just two weeks ago, but has since updated its press release, removing all mention of the three points from its network. Flights to Kiev and Warsaw were to run three times per week this winter, while Bucharest was to be maintained twice weekly. As a result, Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport will no longer be linked with Kiev and Bucharest, while LOT Polish Airlines continues to maintain daily flights between the Polish and Slovenian capitals, with the route codeshared by Adria.

Flights between Kiev and Ljubljana were launched last winter season, while services to Bucharest were inaugurated in March together with a further six other new destinations. Of those seven, only two have made it to this year's winter schedule - Dusseldorf and Sofia. Services to Warsaw were introduced in 2014, prior to LOT's arrival, with the latter quickly upping frequencies and capacity on its Ljubljana flights. The long-term fate of the three discontented routes is unknown as neither is yet on sale for the 2019 summer season, which will begin on the last day of March next year. Adria has wet-leased a number of its aircraft this winter, including three Airbus A319s to Lufthansa (all of which will leave Ljubljana by mid-December), three Saab 2000s to Swiss, two Bombardier jets to Austrian, and one to Luxair, whose lease contract has been extended until the end of next year.

Commenting on the suspensions, Adria said, "Taking into the account available capacities and given circumstances, we decided to further optimise our operations with the start of the winter season and decided not to continue flying to these three destinations at the moment, namely Bucharest, Kiev and Warsaw. Our long-term goal remains growth, but we want to keep it sustainable and stable and our services reliable and safe".

Adria Airways' Chief Commercial Officer, Christian Schneider, recently said the airline must be "smart" when growing in the future. "We are open to new opportunities and cooperation, but we need to be smart when growing. Before opening a new route, we always focus on a detailed analysis that shows us which markets and destinations could be interesting and sustainable for the company". He added, "We are interested in a destination on the Iberian peninsula in the southwest of Europe, a point in Italy, and more further afield we are looking at Dubai. So far, we have decided to strengthen links between Western and Central Europe with the Balkan region". The Slovenian carrier will take on a further three Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft in 2019 after signing an agreement with lessor Regional One to acquire the jets earlier this year.

      I believe they were a bit too optimistic. They probably realized their brand image and perception is worsening. So they can't afford cancelling flights anymore. Therefore, they had to cut some routes. At least I hope that's the reason.

      I doubt flight crew shortage is the issue. If it was, the flights would be on sale for next summer but they are not, they have been completely removed from the schedule.

      Not really. Dusseldorf this morning was cancelled, yesterday afternoon Sofia. Despite discontinued routs still with problems in Ljubljana. It seems lack of crews might be the reason since all the Saabs are not flying and in lots of cases one or even two CRSs are parked in Ljubljana while their flights are cancelled.

    3. Anonymous10:03

      It is not possible to get crews for SAABs - no one has the type rating. Those planes were leased as part of a money funneling scheme, since the company who is leasing them is connected to 4K.

      If you are taking morning flight then it is slightly faster to fly with JU and if you are taking later OS flight you arrive to OTP earliest at 18.00h
      The portion with ATR takes only 1 hour LJU-BEG
      Not to mention that JU is much cheaper and usually flies with A319 to OTP ( I took approx. dates 05-07.12).

      Exactly.
      You can never be sure what is going to be the situation on the roads, how long you will need to get to ZAG, how long you will be waiting on the border (once going there and once on the way back to Slovenia) etc.
      And now winter season comes...During that season BEG and VIE offer the best connections from LJU to OTP with the fact that JU is much cheaper.
      ZAG is not on the map.

How much you are wrong shows the number of cars with Slovenia plates parked at ZAG. But when OU and ZAG are in question, when seasonality didn't work out, than let's try something else, cause, hey, somebody dared to say there is quicker, more convenient and cheaper way than JU.

    13. Anonymous17:56

      ^you just don't get it. And you are comparing "jammed roads" between Ljubljana city centre and Ljubljana airport to possible traffic between Ljubljana and Zagreb with a boarder crossing. And no one says people from Slovenia don't use Zagreb, but I'm highly doubtful you will see an onslaught of passengers from Bucharest. This route was suspended by the way because of a lack of P2P passengers in the first place. Croatia Airlines could certainly pick up transfer passengers in the summer (depending on how the flights are timed).

      I would suggest you think a bit rationally. Not everything is related to nationalism. deal with complexes elsewhere

      Delete
    14. Anonymous18:07

      And btw we are probably talking about 5 P2P passengers per sector here. What gives OS or JU an advantage is that they actually fly this route during winter and their flight times are such that they can connect passengers to western europe (this was the only reason this route was introduced by JP in the first place) not because of the 'massive' demand between Ljubljana and Bucharest which you suddenly think people will flock with their cars to Zagreb when for the same duration those couple of passengers flying between LJU and OTP can connect through Vienna or Belgrade within an hour of landing and reach their final destination without having to drive, cross land and airport boarders, pay tolls and pay parking etc. But you are right, maybe their friends drive them. The nonsense some people write here just to prove how they are better or superior in some way without using any logic is astounding.

      Ah, ok, now I got it, if it's via ZAG, than it's 5 per flight, if it's via VIE (BEG deliberately omitted), than it's 50, maybe even 500. However it's always nice hearing from the fanboys you talk nonsense. Cheers!

      No you obviously haven't got it at all. Coming from the person who suggested that driving between Ljubljana city centre and Ljubljana Airport is the same as driving between Ljubljana and Zagreb, I'm not surprised. My assumption is that travel between point to point Ljubljana to Bucharest is very low whether you transfer through BELGRADE (hope you got that) BELGRADE, Vienna or the moon. I suggest you go deal with your complexities and nationalism first. Goodbye.

    This will probably impact LJU numbers.

      Well in total it's a loss of 8 weekly flights compared to last winter (WAW was 5, Kiev 3 and Bucharest was not operated last winter). Then again there are foreign airlines that have increase or introduced new flights to LJU. We will see.

      As far as foreign airlines go I think LOT increased flights, there are easy jet flights from Berlin and new Aeroflot flights, plus Adria's Dusseldorf and Sofia flights... if they don't suspend those as well.

      Didn't Easyjet and Transavia also increase their frequencies?

      Their statement is in the article actually:\

      Commenting on the suspensions, Adria said, "Taking into the account available capacities and given circumstances, we decided to further optimise our operations with the start of the winter season and decided not to continue flying to these three destinations at the moment, namely Bucharest, Kiev and Warsaw. Our long-term goal remains growth, but we want to keep it sustainable and stable and our services reliable and safe".

    Technically speaking, Slovenija could be compared to Latvia especially when it comes to populations.
    Today, Latvija is home to one of the biggest regional airlines in Europe - airBaltic. But Latvija is also a W6 base and smartlynx one.

    RIX 2017 figures: 6,097,765
    LJU 2017 figures: 1,683,045

    BT fleet: 36 aircraft + 1 order
    JP fleet: 19 + 2 orders

    Latvija GDP per capita 2017: 13 645€
    Slovenija GDP per capita 2017: 20 648€

    So, there is no excuse for SLO not to reach LV standards.

      How many competitors does RIX have in a 200km area vs how many does LJU have? I think that answers your question. Combine Trieste, Zag, whatever pax Klagenfurt has and some Graz and you'll get to the number 6m too. There's just more aiports to choose from here then from around RIX area.

      Also Slovenia has much better road connection with the rest of Europe than Latvia.

      Well, richer VNO and TLL are all very close too, within 2 hour drive. The 3 Baltic capitals have a traffic of almost 13 million combined. Not to mention the secondary airports like KUN:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_the_Baltic_states

      The total size of the Baltics is smaller than Romania and look at them!

      Slovenia must adopt the Baltic or Nordic model in order to achieve their results.
      JP should learn from BT.

      The situation is not really comparable because other methods of transport are a lot more viable options from Slovenia than from Latvia because of its central location.

    5. E kume. Čitaš mi misli, ali to ti je ono kako se kaže naški: prošla baba s kolačima ili pak u Dalmacija partila ferata.
      JP je propustila šansu da bude neke vrste Air Balkan 15 i kusur godina natrag. Da su tada pametno pustupali bila bi LJU ono što je sad RIX. RIX je veza između zapadne Europe i bivšeg SSSR. Lete među ostalim (barem pola godine) za GYD, ALA, KZN, ODS da mjesta na Baltiku (ne samo LT, LV i ES) ni ne spominjemo.
      LJU mogla je biti takva ista veza između Europe i zemlja bivše Juge plus Albanija. Nisu bili poharani ratom, nisu imali sankcije, a još ljudi su nekad tamo imali povjerenje u SLO firme.
      Trebalo je prilagodit letove letenja, da se ima što bolja mogućnost prestupanja, uvesti letove na destinacije koje su zanimljive našoj emigraciji (DUS, ARN...) i da se mene pita imati call centar na makedonskom, albanskom i onom što razumiju i Srbi i Hrvati i Bosanci. Kako ima u Sloveniji masa izvornih govoraca to uopće ne bi bio problem. Uz to je trebao puno jaći marketing u Istri, Rijeci i Friuliju. Jer budimo iskreni, LJU nudi i dan danas puno više P2P destinacija nego TRS.
      Sad ta šansa više ne postoje. Karte su podijeljene između velikih (prije svega LH) i Low Costova. JP tu više se ne može ušuljat.

    6. PS. Bilo bi zanimljivo znati koliki % transfernih putnika ima LJU a koliko RIX.

    sve neprofitabilne linije treba da budu reducirani tjekom zime, a ne samo prosle tri destinacije.
