NEWS FLASH
Transavia has extended its service suspension between Amsterdam and Ljubljana for most of the upcoming winter season. Initially, the carrier was to halt operations between the two capitals until November 15 but has now extended the suspension until December 22. Services will run three times per week over the Christmas and New Year holiday period, until January 8, after which flights will again be suspended until February 2. Further changes remain possible. Transavia has previously told EX-YU Aviation News the cancellations are in response to staff shortages and passenger caps at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. The low cost carrier handled 27.508 travellers on the route during the January - August period.
They could just move the ops to RTM...flights were full
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why slovenia needs national carrier
I consider myself a hardline fiscal conservative and a staunch opponent of establishing a new national carrier in SI. But because of all these news I, too, am beginning to change my mind. These flights were popular but with fewer slots at AMS due to (artificial?) capacity constraints they easily cancel SI, because it’s not as well known as some other places. It’s easily overlooked and, they think, easily missed. We need a (national?) carrier to cover at least the most important destinations, such as AMS.
DeleteJust to remind people, Adria used to fly to Amsterdam daily during the winter.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was together with Transavia which had 4-5 weekly flights.
DeleteYes. From 12 weekly to 0. Thank you to the government and Fraport.
DeleteDanke Deutschland! From Croatia as well.
DeleteExactly, the bad Germans are to blame for the chaos in Amsterdam
DeleteThey are because they have the strongest green lobby in Europe which is spreading these crazy ideas.
DeleteAnother amazing news. It looks like Israir removed LJU from their site. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, they do that every year and list it back in march, when they put the flights back in sale for june
DeleteIf demand was there for flights and economically viable airlines would of course fly them. Airlines at least in western Europe are businesses, not government play thing and need to make a profit.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. AMS-LJU is highly unprofitable route. Thats why it went from almost double daily to nothing in just three years. Passenger growth on AMS-LJU also shows that there are no passengers. From 33.352 in 2016 to just 102.178 in 2018. Thats almost nothing.
DeleteExactly, you could have 1 million passengers and not make a profit. Airlines in the main exist to make a profit.
DeleteYou are right, so unprofitable they actually increased flights from 3 weekly to 4-5 weekly before pandemic. Really unprofitable.
DeleteLook at Adria, when did they last make a profit before going bust.
DeleteThe E.U is gradually trying to get rid of Aviation and encourage train travel instead. Serbia is probably better off out of the E.U if it wants a flourishing Air Serbia.
ReplyDeleteDon’t you worry about Air Serbia and the EU’s push to trains. Even if that turns out to be the case, there will still be plenty of destinations in Europe and elsewhere where flying will still make more sense, both economically and environmentally.
DeleteThis green agenda will end up in fiasco. If the EU would have smart politicians, the train network could have been built already. But instead they are serving the warlords in Washington with war games or accepting refuges from these war torn nations, instead of sending them right to the US. As long train rides FRALON takes 6 hours, ZRHVIE 6 hours or ZRHAMS 9 hours, people wont use trains. With less travel, the economy will suffer which will have negative impacts on everything in our daily lifes. I agree with green travel, but then there needs to be a strategy, a concept, investments and once this is done and built, people will automatically start using it. Some of it is done such as train networks within Germany, France, Spain, LONPAR, BRUAMS, ZRHMIL, BSLFRA, MILROM. In other regions of EUR it takes half a day to travel fm one capital to the other. So step by step, what we are seeing now is self destruction governed by foolish politicians, especially when seeing how green people travel in the US or elsewhere on the globe.
DeleteDo not count much on Amsterdam as an airport this or next year thanks to the super leftist government they have.
ReplyDeleteLjubljanica was affected and so was Belgrad and Zagrab with KLM. Useless airline similar to Eurowings.
Does anyone have a statement from Transavia regarding the suspension of LJU-AMS service? There is nothing on their site, neither have I received anything regarding my existing flight. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFlights are cancelled. I have already got an email but my flight was supposed to be mid November. You will probably get it soon.
DeleteYou have their statement in the article.
