    Kudos Fraport on a job well done. And before you blame pandemic and fall of Adria, Tuzla Airport had barely 35,000 passengers in January 2020.

      Not at all. A second tier airport which would be considered a village by European standards had more passengers than a capital city in the European Union.

      well the rise of Tuzla and BNX is mainly because of mass exodus from the country

      @17;58 please, metro Ljubljana has 450.000 people, but that is not the point. The real question is how many potential pax both airports may have (catchment area).

      In the end point is that a Ljubljana is not bigger market. So, comparing Tuzla with the village and a Ljubljana with some big EU city is a realy bulshit what you can read here. In the end stats are speaking for themselves.

      By the way I wish to Ljubljana Airport all the best. I hope it will find way to deal with this decrease of traffic.

    This makes so much sense, tourism is booming in Tuzla and the economy is doing exceptionally well.

    Very bad month for LJU, if they want to have 1.3 million in 2023 they need to have at least 80k in winter months

      they had half of this last year and still end with nearly a million. so 1.3 is totally doable.

    Admin, comparison articles like this one are good because they show also show how regional airports are performing and not only bigger capitals. Tuzla has a good mix of Ryanair and Wizzair.

      Presence of Ryanair in TZL is not high. Only 3 routes with 2 the same like by Wizz.

    lets assume LJU catchment area of at least citizens of its country, Slovenia so 2mil, and catchment area of TZL being roughly 1mil, (other mil to BNX, rest of BiH to SJJ). Let's also take into account buying power of average Slovenian citizen and average Bosnian citizen. Let's also take into account Slovenia part of EU/NATO/Schengen so ease of travel plus frequent travel to Brussels by politicians. Sure Bosnian diaspora, but Slovenians travel for tourism purposes en masse twice a year. Having said all that it is a victory for TZL and poor result for LJU.

      Vicotry? Slovenians have not fled their homes to work on the construction site in Stockholm so they can travel with Wizzair back to Bosnia and increase the numbers of a provincial airport.. Victory indeed.
