NEWS FLASH
LOT Polish Airlines has no plans to resume its seasonal flights between Warsaw and Pristina this coming summer, the carrier confirmed. Operations between the two cities were inaugurated last year and operated four times per week between June and late September with the 112-seat Embraer E195 aircraft. During 2022, LOT handled 8.205 passengers on the route.
Like I wrote the other day, only gasto routes can work from PRN. So sad. OS will be happy.
ReplyDeleteBut this was a gasto route - for connections to the US.
DeleteYes i think that was the plane, for connections to the US, but they had bad flight connections, so it was still better to fly with OS
Deleteand why is it working for the rest of ExYu market?
DeleteI guess the market to the US isn't that big if they are cutting flights in the summer.
DeleteWould be the same situation when traveling will be organised without visas? Would be the same situation - only gasto routes?
DeleteOn the other hand they added extra daily flight to Lju - so now the route has 9x weekly flights
ReplyDeletePristina- Ljubljana has 2 weekly flights?
DeleteLOT dude
DeleteWhere do you get that data from? On Ljubljana Airport's website still shows 5 weekly
DeleteI just booked myself in for 14.4 flight (which is friday) and 2 flights were available.
DeleteAlso LJU website doesn't show you the summer schedule yet
because of the holidays
DeleteJust checked the 2nd daily Friday (and Sunday) flight is there for the whole summer season (26.3-1.11)
Deletenot on the 21.4
Delete21.4: LO 616 13:40 and LO 618 17:05 ....what are you on about?
DeletePristina with virtually no tourism and business travel, can not survive routes where there is no Albanian diaspora.
ReplyDeleteI mean it's not like this route was meant for O&D travel between Pristina and Warsaw
DeleteWelcome to the airport of tour operators!

DeleteThey need Air Serbia to connect passengers threw Belgrade airport. And to compare with others. In all other situation it would be just travel agency airport.
Delete1 ATR a day would make a difference?
DeleteLOL.
DeleteThat translates to about 61 passengers per flight on average
ReplyDeleteGreat for ATR, terrible for E75
Deletei doubt its that much
DeleteThe numbers are on the article. It's not about what you doubt or don't doubt
Deleteits abour your math dude
DeleteTell me what I did wrong then, dude
DeleteWith Wizzair based in PRN there will be no need for other airlines.
ReplyDeleteThis confirms that the traffic in PRN is heavily O&D. Probably very small traffic to North America or transfers via WAW.
ReplyDeleteThe North America traffic is not so small from PRN, LOT is not a known company in Kosovo and no marketing was done.
DeleteA rare L for Pristina
ReplyDeleteFlights were pretty loaded since they announced the flights pretty late last march. Star Alliance has a big presence in PRN. Still a shame this service is being discontinued.
ReplyDeleteThey probably just use the A/C for a route with more profitability. They will be back ;)
DeleteThe reason is simple. LO has too little long haul planes compared to demand they now have on transatlantic routes. They did not manage to get new dreamliners for the season, so they do not need so many transfer passengers now. Consequently, they cut the lowest yielding among transfer routes. They will be back when they increase transatlantic offering from WAW, so they will need more transfers.
