NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia will increase its frequencies between Belgrade and Ljubljana this month in response to increased demand. The airline will introduce an additional two weekly rotations between the two capitals for a total of nine weekly flights starting November 14. The additional departures will run on Fridays and Sundays. All services will be operated by the ATR72 turboprop aircraft. Initially, the airline planned to run seven weekly flights between the two cities this winter season.
Very Nice, I hope a319 eil come soon
ReplyDeleteDoubt it, at least not before LJU goes 14 weekly.
Deletebetter to add additional daily rotation and have on some dates triple daily.
DeleteThey could start Maribor, too.
ReplyDeletewhy?
DeleteTo grab some transfer pax.
DeleteI think Slovenia is too small to be served via two airports by a single airline.
DeleteWhat about those two airports being served by two different airlines?
DeleteBeen there done that. FR failed, that says enough about their potential.
DeleteRyanair failed? BS
Delete1X weekly to maribor (winter schedule), 1x portoroz (summer schedule) would def work for ASL
DeleteYou would need at least 2-3x weekly, year round to have some sort of consistency, and decent return options. Even though most of the passengers would be transfers, I would assume. (could be wrong though).
DeleteATR is weight restricted in POW which means the flight could never be full.
DeleteWhat about for MBX?
Deleteno restriction for ATR, A320 type and similar etc, at MBX can land even A330 but with restriction.
DeletePerhaps MBX could be an option once 3 daily is established and JU start sending the A319 on BEG-LJU. I'm sure MBX would offer JU discounts to at least have an airline operating there.
Delete@sloavio no restrictions.MBX handled already several flights by AN124 (Antonov Airlines & Volga-Dnepr) so the mentioned A330 is easy one....
DeleteNot necessarily. An-124 is a quad-jet and might have a shorter takeoff run than A330.
DeleteFor instance A340 has shorter takeoff run than A330 although it's a larger aircraft.
Alr8 Andrej, did not know that. I thought that was the info last time I spoke with one of the guys working at the ATC. Good to know. Are there different restrictions for pax ac and cargo ac?
DeleteWhat I don't understand is why isn't JU flying to Split in summer. It's about the same size as Ljubljana and I think there is a lot of potential.
ReplyDeleteYou mean in winter?
DeleteYes, there has to be demand from Split
DeleteTrue, 2-3x weekly could work with the ATR in winter.
DeleteHaving a full summer season for both SPU and DBV would be great as a start. At least daily flights in the summer, perhaps 9 pw with 2 extra morning flights for JFK connections.
DeleteAgree. Maybe not 3x weekly but still, there is definitely potential demand.
