      I guess more flights from ZAG are to blame.

      So why are they flying to LJU? Why are they planning to add 3 more flights a week compared to 2019?

      There's a lot of demand on UK-SLO routes. Easy made 120k pax on stn-lju routte but they closed base there. They don't start as uk is on red list of slovenia gouverment and no one wants to travel if you have quarantine. And Ba said they will fly a319 back in 2019, on the end there was always a320 and a lot of times even a321.

    I hope Iberia goes forward with its Ljubljana plans?
    At least Ljubljana is lucky not to be east of Zagreb.

    Based on research article done by Damjan P. Slovenia is seeing 9% pax volume compared to 2019 levels. It would be interesting to see how low can we go and I do not mean in limbo game.

    1. Wow! Slovenija air traffic was really hit hard by Adria collapse.

      But I'm wondering if Adria still existed how much would have Corona crisis effected it.

    Very simple, natural and organic demand (no hub and no tourists) shows real picture of ex-yu airports now after corona.
    Ljubljana - nothing
    Zagreb - small demand
    Skopje - ULCC
    Sarajevo - Middle East
    Podgorica - Serbia plus ULCC
    Banja Luka - nothing
    Pristina - gastos routes
    Belgrade - transfers and charters and regular trafic

    BEG would go double daily at least as soon as visas would have been cancelled with UK only with British. Can't wait for that moment

      Anon 9.33 I agree slovenia is dead without ADRIA. Those few routes they were flying would be operated now, like Muc and Tirana, Skp, Sjj...
      But we lost many of such routes even tho there were mostly transfer pax. Adria did a lot of money on such a flights (only profitable routes via lju to fra)

      Sorry to hear that. Did they offer an alternative?

    3. It suggests changing to Monday, 30 August 2021 - but since the Sunday, 29 August flight is still available for sale - I assume that the backend is just not updated yet. I will wait a few days and then see the options, probably Zagreb...

    4. Now the cancelled flight(s) are reinstated... complete mess
