NEWS FLASH
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport handled a record 471.518 passengers in March, representing an increase of 26.7% on the pre-pandemic 2019. The number of aircraft movements grew 16% on four years ago. During the first quarter of the year, Belgrade Airport welcomed 1.313.449 travellers through its doors, up 26.9% on 2019. It added an additional 279.142 passengers compared to the pre-pandemic era. In a statement, VINCI said, “Belgrade Airport continues to benefit from the strong momentum of routes to Turkey (up by 84%) while developing links with other destinations, such as France, Germany and China. Supply has also increased here, for example by way of Wizz Air’s third aircraft stationed at Belgrade in April 2022, followed by a fourth in April 2023”.
Over a quarter of a million passengers more compared to Q1 2019. Excellent result.
ReplyDeleteIt is good, but it could be better compared to January 2023, if 27% growth is projected on a year level around 7 100 000 passangers could be expected on BEG in 2023.
DeleteSofia had 1,579,346 passangers in Q1, we shall see could it be outperformed during summer.
Delete27% more than 2019 is much more than 7.1 million in 2023. 2019. BEG had 6,1 million
DeleteCompared to 2022 is around 7.1 million, yes it is more when you compare 2019, you are right.
DeleteWhat a grow up!
ReplyDeleteShall we expect Beirut, Amman and Baku this year, 18 or more JU flights to CDG?
DeleteNope.
DeleteBelgrade airport is growing by 27% compared to 2019 while second-best airport in the EX YU grew by only 15%. Almost doub;e the passengers and that's before major expansion by Air Serbia and Wizz in the coming weeks and months. Belgrade absolutely dominates in this region.
ReplyDeleteWell Zagreb and Belgrade are not the same category of airports. Zagreb is in the airport category of 2-5 million passengers, while Belgrade is 5-15 million passengers. What is worrisome is that Zagreb got the base of the strongest LCC carrier with three planes, and the number of passengers is still not at a satisfactory level. Sarajevo, which lost its W6 base, has a similar growth percentage as Zagreb with a new base company.
DeleteIf passenger numbers continue this way throughout the year, it is possible Belgrade would hit 8 million passengers in 2023. That would make the gap largest ever over the second place airport.
DeleteNo way.
DeleteWay. Current 27% growth over 2019 means 7.8 million passengers. When new planes/destinations for Air Serbia, Wizz and others are added, annual passenger numbers easily go over 8 million. Yes way!
DeleteWhat is interesting is that JU's share fell to below 50% in March despite recording impressive growth. It means foreign carriers also performed quite well.
DeleteJU could have performed better if it had the recources to meet demand.

DeleteThat is the biggest problem for JU, lack of man power, resources, criminally low salaries and working conditions, low morale among employees and poor fleet and financial planning.
If they fix those things, growth will be more natural and sustainable.
Tomorrow's LIS was downgraded from A320 to A319. Such a shame.

DeleteI think that the 27% growth witnessed in the winter months is more an indicator of how well they've managed to reduce winter-induced seasonality. I'm skeptical that such growth will be maintained during the summer, which has always been strong in Belgrade. There will be double digit growth for sure, but maybe not quite 27%+
Their share in Belgrade was between 40% and 50%.
DeleteOthers especially Wizz have helped in reducing seasonality.
But on many situations JU was indeed Wizzier than Wizz.
@Anon 11:46: I'm skeptical that such growth will be maintained during the summer
DeleteNot only maintained but significantly increased.This will easily take it over 30% growth to over 8 million passengers. List does not include yet unnanounced but expected lines such as Beijing and Shanghai or charter traffic:

ReplyDeleteRast Aerodroma Beograd je ocigledan. Pod uslovom da mir
ReplyDeleteopstane u ovom delu Evrope, velicina tog Srpskog haba ce biti nezaustavljiv u Jugo Istocnoj Evropi. Za samo cetiri godine bice Prva stogodisnjica Er Srbije. Sa opravdanom nadom Srbija dobije svetsku izlozbu u 2027-oj godini i gradnji novog izlozbenog i sportskog centra pored Aerodroma... Sa novim investicijama i poslovima koji su u toku i uskoro predstoje. Aerodrom Nikola Tesla ce delimicno prevazici i sopstvena predvidjanja.
Verujuci da sve navedeno nije preoptimisticn, u nadi ostajmo u proslavi dolazeceg Vaskrsa.
