Surprisingly good June for LJU, giving the fact that Adria is a mess...
ReplyDeleteThe numbers show, it is not such a mess after all and comments on JP here are exaggerated and downright malicious.
DeleteExaggerated? They have more cancellations and delays than Ryanair, Wizz Air and Easyjet together with 20 times smaller fleet.
DeleteDoes anyone do any fact checking before writing nonsense any more? Just this wednesday easyjet cancelled 74 flights, which is more than Adria cancelled in the entire month.
DeleteEasy has 328 aircraft and JP operating 9. So if Easy cancels 74 and JP 5 a day, the Proportion is not in favor of JP.
Deletestill a nice result of LJU. Hopefully with AF increasing schedule as of 16JUL and BA starting to fly to LJU, we might could see in JUL or AUG first time 200'000 passengers in one month in LJU
LJU was smart to distance itself from JP. I guess it also helps that SU launched flights as there for sure more passengers to SVO now than before.
ReplyDeleteThen July should not be a problem as well with positive growth despite daily cancelations by JP.
ReplyDeleteExactly, one Adria B777-300 cancellation leaves 600 passengers stranded.with 100% LF and all 773 in fleet it is really astonishing LJU grew at all....
DeleteLast year, Adria had more cancellations, but for some reason, the media picked-up on it only this year. I guess a few journalists had a bad experience with them recently..
ReplyDeleteI just flew this mornings flight from LJU to IST, flight was around 90-95% full on a321 ! So i guess all loads went up on foreign airlines a lot !
ReplyDeleteGreat! Bravo Slovenija!
DeleteNice job LJU! So far the highest growth this year. BA will also show an impact this month. A321 ;) ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteBut that made journey from LJU miserable. This airport reallllllllly sucks.
