      Emirates flies for two years now and is reducing the frequencies. Transat for three years. That brand new terminal was opened more than two years ago. And since Korean started in September, not a single new route was introduced.

      Really, everything what a major regional player should be.

      I'm not being a hater (again, you just love using that term), I'm being realistic and not using the political terminology like ZAG achieved things that are unheard of. The fact is that ZAG is barely moving forward, when it should be "booming", as some Anonymous on this site love to describe it.

      Easy boys. Lets go back and refer to this extremely important article covered by admin>>>>

      https://www.exyuaviation.com/2018/02/zagreb-airport-with-regional-hub.html

      Second paragraph >>>>>>>

      Mr Feron noted that transforming Zagreb into a hub is a long-term strategy, with Group Aerport de Paris' concession to run until 2042.

      long-term = it will take a bit of time but zagreb is on the right track.

      Anyone can use the term "long term" that defines nothing really. What is "long term"? 5 years? 10? 25?
      By that time all other regional airports will be way ahead of ZAG's "long term strategy".

      Please...

      2042-2019 = 23 years

      If Zagreb manages to maintain the current growth it is likely to surpass 15 million in 20 years time. This is excluding any possibility of LCC base.

      2025 - 5 million
      2030 - 9 million
      2035 - 12 million
      2040 - 16 million

    Great results! Dubrovnik is on fire! And ZAG is showing this year that the organic growth is perfectly possible without maniacal adding of new routes (usually heavily subsidized). When they are necessary, they will come for sure.
    Just waiting for the Banja Luka guy and the similar ones who seem to think that the Zagreb catchment area is from the Alps to Danube, lol!

      Such complexes that you feel the need to bring BNX into this, says more about you than anything else. I think Easter boosted April numbers this year. Where was this organic growth in January, February and March?

      Mihail, do not think that BNX is not going to grow.
      Ever since it began flights, the Zagreb figures declined from 2 digit to 1 digit growth.
      Ryan has now focused on BiH as a country and will see more and more committed.
      BNX catchment is indeed huge and almost 4 times bigger than its size.

      And you also need to can down. Like ZAG figures declined because of BNX. Also, that Saint Ryanair is known for being a fickle airline and they can leave as quick as they arrived, so don't put them on the pedestal and build them a shrine just yet.
      Enjoy the growth, but keep other airports out of your mouth.

    Glad i could contribute to the 25% in Split in April. Spring time at the Jadran is fantastic. On my flt FRA-SPU there were about 50% fm the US, flt was pretty much full and also in Split i heard most North American slang plus saw many people/groups fm Asia.
