Everyone keeps on praising SPU but DBV seems like it's the quiet achiever. Really great for them and because they managed to snatch a fancy airline like AA which also increased flights! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBoth are doing pretty well.
DeleteWhy did SPU fall in march? What happened there exactly?!
DeleteIt is the Eater Effect. Last Year airlines like Norwegian and Easyjet startet flight earlier to cater for Easter. April will be strong this year. DBV on the other hand secured many charter flights this year, from January with Agean having 1 aircraft stationed there with wich it operates daily up to 3 flights. This is evident in the numbers.
DeleteSo what you are saying is that there is no excuse for SPU's underperformance.
DeleteUnderperformance? You must be some sicko who believes things should only go up! What about sustainability of the environment? The number of pax at SPU is already too high for the local community!
DeleteHahaha so Anon 00.23 what you are saying is that SPU needs to lower its passenger numbers? lol
DeleteWhat are you on? I want some of it too pal.
Dubrovnik also saw a huge increase in off season tourism Up 50% on last years numbers.
DeleteDBV will be having one of its strongest years in history.
ReplyDelete+40% is simply crazy.
All the while PUY's numbers keep on crashing for about five months now.
