EX-YU markets top European summer growth

Several countries from the former Yugoslavia have topped European capacity growth for the 2019 summer season, which began yesterday. During the second quarter of this year and the first half of summer, Croatia will see the biggest increase in available seats within the former Yugoslavia, followed closely by Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia. All five have made it into Europe's top fifteen fastest growing country markets for the second quarter of the year, according to the airline network and analysis portal "Anna Aero". The British overseas territory of Gibraltar will see the biggest increase in capacity when compared to last year, followed by Albania, Ukraine, Georgia and Austria.

Croatia will register a 15.2% increase in year-on-year capacity over the next three months. Growth has been fuelled after numerous carriers brought forward the resumption of their seasonal flights to the coast, in addition to the use of larger aircraft on existing routes and the launch of new services. Overall, Croatia's nine commercial airports anticipate handling over eleven million passengers this year. The growth in available seats will be followed by Macedonia, which will register a 13.5% increase in capacity. Wizz Air, which is in the process of introducing eight new routes from Skopje and Ohrid airports, will bring an additional 200.000 seats onto the market. As a result, the low cost airline will have over 1.9 million seats on sale to and from the country this year.

Europe's top fifteen growing markets in Q2 2019

MarketGrowth (%)
Gibraltar24.3
Albania23.2
Ukraine17.0
Georgia16.1
Austria15.5
Croatia15.2
Macedonia13.5
Latvia12.0
Bosnia and Herzegovina11.1
Faroe Islands10.5
Montenegro9.7
Belarus9.0
Hungary8.2
Portugal7.2
Serbia7.1

Bosnia and Herzegovina's capacity growth will amount to 11.1%. The increase in the second quarter will come as a result of Ryanair's flights to Banja Luka Airport, as well as increased aircraft movement in Sarajevo. Montenegro will boast a 9.7% year-on-year increase in capacity, making it the eleventh fastest growing market, between the Faroe Islands and Belarus. Serbia, which will see the bulk of its summer capacity growth during the third quarter, is set to register a 7.1% increase in available seats during the second. Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is targeting 6.2 million passengers this year, while Serbia as a whole should reach at least 6.6 million travellers, the country's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, Zorana Mihajlović, said recently.

    I am surprised with Bosnia, not sure where is that growth coming from? Only from BL?

    Also, with Air Serbia going big in Belgrade and many new routes from Nis, I would expect Serbia to be higher. Maybe they did not count Nis routes yet?

      If you read the article you will get your answer. The capacity growth is for Q2 - second quarter. Like it says for Serbia the majority of the capacity growth comes in Q3 - third quarter. That's when Air Serbia launches its new routes and Nis flights are supposed to start.

      I'm still very skeptical of this FlyBosnia project. Whenever you see some grand plans from start ups they usually fall flat. Maybe they do launch all the routes they have announced, but we will see if they survive or in the end become a shuttle airline between Saudi and Bosnia.

      I guess we will see. Remember how easyjet didn't schedule flights from Geneva to Belgrade last year for months before they put tickets on sale eventually? I'm not saying it's going to happen here, I just find it odd that they are randomly suspending OSI especially since loads were good and they were even discussing introducing London with the management a few months ago.

      Tvoja negativnost je tužna. OU služi kao servis hrvatskim građanima, a ne da transferira turiste u Hrvatsku. Za to služe druge kompanije.

      Tuzne su tvoje ruzicaste naocale. Jedna Litva, do jucer SSSR, sa 2 milijuna stanovnika, na rubu Europe, bez dijaspore i bez turizma, ima 3 domace aviokompanije sa oko 40 aviona, ukljucivo A320, plus baze Ryanair i Wizzaira. To je bravo, dragi moj, a ovo u Hrvatskoj nije moja negativnost nego tuzna istina o neiskoristenom potencijalu. A te price o javnom servisu okaci macku o rep, trziste funkcionira drugacije

      Alo momak rat i izbjeglice su bili prije 25 godina. Kad je rat zavrsio, Hrvatska je jos uvijek bila u boljoj situaciji od Litve koju su Rusi 50 godina sistematski unistavali. Ali zahvaljujuci ispranim mozgovima koji podrzavaju politiku koja masovno iseljava Hrvatsku i pljacka njene gradjane, smo tu gdje jesmo, na svim podrucjima, pa i zrakoplovstvu. A ti samo naprijed s pozitivom, dok jednog dana i ti ne dodjes na red

      Stvari u državi idu nabolje, polako ali ipak. Bitno je da zračne luke uspješno posluju, OU će ispuniti svoju svrhu javnog servisa, u to ne sumnjam. Lijep pozdrav!

Na vlasti su ljudi iz iste stranke i istog mentalno sklopa kao prije 30 godina, konkurentnost ekonomije je na zadnjem mjestu u Evropi, industrijska proizvodnja se smanjuje, birokracija ubija i obicne ljude i poduzetnike, ni jedna ozbiljna reforma nije napravljena u 20 godina, posao se dobija uz clansku iskaznicu HDZa i satelita, zdravstvo je u rasulu, pravosudje je krivosudje, pod politickim utjecajem i korumpirano, nema reforme obrazovanja, a Croatia Airlines je samo slag na torti.

      Tko zeli biti objektivan mora vidjeti i negativne i pozitivne stvari oko sebe. Pozitivna je ljepota Hrvatske, klima, zemljopisni polozaj, raznolikost, kultura, hrana.. . Pozitivno je sto imamo turizam. Da ga nema, davno bi bankrotirali. Negativno je to sto zahvaljujuci pogresnoj politici umjesto priblizavanja Svicarskoj, priblizavamo se Bangladesu. Sto da samo jedne godine iz nekog razloga (npr. terorizam, prirodne katastrofe.. .) turizam podbaci?
      Raditi na poboljsanju i vjerovati u bolje sutra su fraze, potpuno neostvarive sa mentalnim sklopom spodoba koje obnasaju vlast u Hrvatskoj i onih koji ih biraju.

      Ne vjerujem da je ljudima u Hrvatskoj toliko loše. Nekima sigurno jeste i ti odlaze potražiti sreću negdje drugo i to je pozitivno. Mediji prenapuhuju negativnosti i mislim da je to po nečijoj direktivi. Stanje nije toliko loše koliko se može čitati po medijima. Inače ljudi ne bi birali vlasti koje već biraju.

      Pametniji popusta. Hrvatska je najsretnija, najbogatija, najpostenija, najorganiziranija, najtolerantnija, najnaprednija i najpozeljnija za zivot. Ljudi uopce iseljavaju jer im je predobro. Strane agenture i ajkule planski smisljaju kako da takvu idealnu Hrvatsku uniste, iz ciste zavisti, pa onda kroz medije izmisljaju i prenapuhuju ono sto u stvarnosti ne postoji, a Croatia Airlines, sa svojom flotom od 50 aviona, od cega 10 dugolinijskih sirokotrupnih je simbol uspjeha, poslovnosti, i model kojem teze svi, od Aljaske do Singapura. Zivio ti meni sto godina, u sreci i zadovoljstvu, idili i blagostanju kakvo jedino postoji u Hrvatskoj i ponecijoj masti. Bok!

    Of the countries listed in the top 15, only one appears in the top 15 ranking for most seats, with Portugal being Europe’s 12th largest market regarding total departing seats in Q2 2019. The top markets remain the UK (3.1% growth in Q2 2019), followed by Spain (3.7%), Germany (2.0%), Italy (5.9%) and France (5.2%).

    Both Georgia and Ukraine are seeing those growth is also related to emmigration.
    Ukranians are fleeding in flocks to Poland, Baltics and of course Germany. The same goes to Georgians.
    As for Georgia it is also a very beautiful country with an interesting capital city and also the coast is packed with tourists.
    Albania is again a combination of both. I read Tirana has improved dramatically and is becoming very touristic.
    Gibraltar might be related to Brexit with Brits moving there to secure their EU rights.

    Finally, I would like to say that I was expecting somehow Romania in the list. It is a country with approximately 10 airports but one can easily see how growth has stagnated.

    Growth in 2018:

    CLJ - +3% was 43% in 2017!
    TSR - -6,4%!! Following departure of FR
    CRA - 5% up from 2% in 2017%

    Biggest decrease is obviously OMR around 49% after FR abandoned the city completely.

      Georgia's touristic potential is pretty much alike with Serbia, both in the capital and the countryside. Unlike with Serbia it knew to utilize and advertise it to the fullest. Top tourist destination of the region after Greece is Hungary - a plain with one city. Advertisement is everything. Cheap access is the second. Hopefully Serbia will be working on those.

      Even though Georgia is economically poorer than Serbia, they still managed to develop.
      They currently have 3 international airports with TBS well ahead many ex-yu capitals including ZAG:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_Georgia_(country)

      QR for example flies 18 weekly from TBS to DOH!!
      FZ - 4 daily!

      W6 will base a 3rd aircraft in KUT.
      Pobeda agressively expanding in BUS. Also many new routes will be opened this summer.

      Georgia and the Baltics must be the example not only for Serbia, but for the entire region, too.
