Doha becomes Middle East’s busiest

In the battle to be the pre-eminent travel hub in the Middle East, the latest research from ForwardKeys has revealed that Doha seized and consolidated a lead over Dubai in the first half of 2021. In the period January 1 -June 30, the volume of air tickets issued for travel via Doha was 18% higher than it was through Dubai; and that relationship looks set to continue. Current bookings for the second half of the year through Doha are 17% higher than through Dubai. At the start of the year, air traffic through Doha was at 77% of Dubai; but it quickly reached 100% for the first time during the week commencing January 27. The major factor driving the trend was the lifting, of the blockade of flights to and from Qatar this January, which was imposed in June 2017 by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who accused Qatar of sponsoring terrorism - an accusation it strongly denies. Since January, five routes were restored by Qatar Airways in the region and new routes launched further afield. Olivier Ponti, Vice President of insights at ForwardKeys, said, “Without the blockade, which encouraged the establishment of new routes as a strategy to replace lost traffic, perhaps we would not have seen Doha charging past Dubai. So, it seems that the seeds of Doha’s relative success were, ironically, sown by the adverse actions of its neighbours. However, one needs to bear in mind that flights through the Middle East during first half of 2021 were still 81 per cent below pre-pandemic levels. So, as the recovery gathers pace, the picture could change significantly”. The last major factor, which has given Qatar an edge over Dubai, has been its reaction to the pandemic. During the height of the Covid-19 crisis, many routes in and out of Doha remained operational, with the result that Doha became a major hub for repatriation flights - most notably to Johannesburg and Montreal.

Ljubljana Airport to get solar power plant

NEWS FLASH

Ljubljana Airport’s operator Fraport Slovenija has signed an agreement with Slovenian energy service provider Resalta to build a 500 kW photovoltaic powerplant on the rooftop of the airport’s main garage building. The 500 kW solar power plant will be fully installed in 2021, generating 500 MWh of electricity from renewable sources for direct on-site consumption at Jože Pučnik Airport. This will provide 10% of the airport’s electricity consumption, improving its sustainability and reducing CO2 emissions by 250 tons each year. So far, Resalta has completed about 260 energy projects for 180 clients.

I seems like building of terminal and now solar cell thingy will be used to increase goodwill portion of balance sheet of the Airport.

This may be also the reason why they are stating that this is a long term investment.

Goals of doing this it to inflate the market worth of the company so they can:

qualify for loan by staking assets
show that they are solvent
increase of airport sale price
