It is obvious now that BNX takes some passengers from ZAG as their average growth in this year was only weak 3% (in 2018 it was 8%!) with possible trend of decreasing in winter months

SJJ will surely be affected by BNX's meteoric rise.

Absolutely- for ZAG it would be good BNX did not exist. Then their growth would have been 3,001%.

Your anger just shows your bitterness towards reality. Even some Croatian members of the forum here see that BNX is and will even more take passengers from ZAG,

Lets just be patient and see what will be ZAG growth at the end of the year...

More than tiny 2%? Highly doubt

Most of those 60.000 new passengers came from Banja Luka area. Rest is from rest of BiH and from Slavonija, Moslavina, Banija and Kordun. For sure not from Zagreb. Not more then 10% of those new passengers came from Zagreb area. And those 6-7.000 for sure is nothing for 3,3 million Zagreb passengers.

60.000 new passengers for sure is not meteoric. And will not harm Sarajevo.

I never said all these passengers are from Zagreb.

I clearly said that these passenngers are taken from ZAG airport. It means practically that all the people you mentioned here used ZAG airport for flying in the past and now they have much cheaper alternative.

Therefore ZAG is going to fell BNX presence more and more.

I am pretty sure BNX is a threat. Many people changed from Brussels Airlines to Ryanair. SN is really expensive to ZAG. You pay some 80€ Return, wheras by going to Charleroi and flying to BNX you can save 35Eur. And OU is way to expensive to Stockholm on their CRJ1000 especially in Winter when BNX growth was biggest.

ZAG is going to feel it more than SJJ.

And this is just a beginning...

It's not the fact that there wasn't a single new route introduced in the last 12 months, but the fact BNX got Ryanair.

And yes, I'm that delusional hater you love to hate.


Local aviation experts...

Are the rumors true about OTP management holding an emergency meeting to see how will they respond to the BNX threat?

For me it is obvious that BNX massive growth played a role to JP' going bankrupt. The huge passenger numbers that it attracted definitely hurt their pax loads.
