NEWS FLASH
Aegean Airlines, which launched operations between Ljubljana and Athens last week, has extended its planned operations between the two capitals past September 29. The carrier will now serve the route for an additional two weeks until October 13. Within the former Yugoslavia, the Greek carrier plans to maintain operations during the winter months from Athens to Belgrade, Skopje and Zagreb.
At least something. Hopefully they will be flying to LJU in W24/25.
ReplyDeleteFirstly they need to fly in summer 2024 in order to fly in W24/25.
DeleteI'm sure they will!
DeleteBravo A3
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a good
ReplyDeleteWill LH consider sending the A320 family fleet at least once a day to LJU?
ReplyDeleteIt's really odd that we have the same type of aircraft as the German villages of 30.000 inhabitants.
Even Paderborn gets the A320 so I don't understand why they can't bring it to an EU capital city like Ljubljana
If demand is there they will send not only the A320 but the A321 so that means that demand is not there to upgrade aircrafts.
DeleteBoth flights to Muc and Fra are full, they just don't seem to either have the extra planes or the crew to up the aircraft size. They are slowly starting to use e90s on frankfurt when one extra is available and on 4 out of 6 flights to/from munich im booked on A319
DeleteSoon maybe next summer one half will be with 320family.
DeleteLH was already using 2 daily 319 to FRA last summer, but switched back to CRJ. Capacity issues, not lack of demand.
DeleteIf it were "capacity issues" instead of demand (read: earnings), then how do you explain why LH is not deploying the CRJs on other routes of theirs, instead of bigger equipment? So you guys really think LH hates LJU? Any airline deployed the type of a/c on such routes where its commercially most viable
DeleteWith CRJ and bad connectivity to other hubs and almost no competition in LJU they can sell those seats very well with enormous yields. So they don't hate LJU, they LOVE it and making huge profit at the moment.
DeleteExactly, I couldn't agree more. And that's also the reason why OS will stick to KLU. LH group won't have interest to jeopardize its own yields
DeleteThat means that bookings are going pretty good and hopefully they extend LJU to year-round.
ReplyDeleteWill be possible daily year-round? Aegean is a very nice airline, good service, prices, planes with beautiful new livery. They have big potential in Ljubljana also with other destinations as SKG,HER, RHO, KGS, CFU!
DeleteSKP was 2 weekly all those years with Aegean and this winter they upgrade ATH-SKP to 6weekly(almost daily) so if there is demand Aegean could increase LJU to 4 or 5 weekly flights next summer.
DeleteWill be very nice
DeleteWinter ATH has a potential if Athens arrival time is adapted to connecting flights. At the moment it's too late (except for Middle east connections).
DeleteCan Aegean get these subsidies money and make ATH year-round?
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteYes, i believe. Will be perfect. Good for transfers and one winter option for holiday destination for slovenians.
Those flights in winter could be very good especially for transfers to the Middle East, Africa and the Caucasus area with Aegean.
DeleteGood option as TK.
DeleteSo we currently have most of Adria's destinations restored.
ReplyDeleteAthens - Aegean Airlines
Prishtina - GP Aviation
Skopje - Wizz Air
FRA,MUC,ZRH, BRU - LH
As an alternative to Tirana, Pristina, Sarajevo, we have Tivat and Nis, Athens (I speak as a new good substitute).
Charters have been reinstated by Trade Air.
We are only waiting for VIE, CPH, MAN, BER, PRG as well as Spanish destinations.
It seems the situation is not as bad as many people make it out to be with their negative comments.
Connections and connectivness are not the same
DeleteLJU is perfectly connected. But we need flights to Vienna!
DeleteMy opinion is that Ljubljana is perfectly perfect, the transfer passengers are missing, that's all. It is a fact that we are making progress, these days are a fact of that, we have over 20 flights a day.
DeleteHow nice it would be to have Sky Express as well, with several Greek destinations.
DeleteSky Express could possible launch HER I don't see it impossible.
DeleteEspecially now that they got A321 and more A320 aircrafts.
DeleteYes but and ATR is ok;))
Delete@Anon Exactly! From all the routes stated above only FRA is restored in terms of frequency, capacity and schedule. All others are FAR from being restored. We badly need morning flights to MUC, ZRH, BRU and VIE to improve CONNECTIVITY. But IMHO this will happen only if an airliner will establish a base at LJU. It is true that all new routes are very welcome and I hope the trend will continue. But the number of daily flights to LJU is still 40% down compared to 2019 and the forecast for July is the same, even the same level as 2022, while the other airports in region are doing great.
DeleteI will announce that a new route will be announced in July, which will please everyone.
ReplyDeleteHas to do with Aegean?
DeleteNo, but is a normal airline not tour operators from Kosovo and charter airline.
DeleteVIE!
DeleteCph!
DeleteWe already know it will be Luxair from LUX to LJU. Anybody else?
DeleteI think it is time to see regular flights to the Greek islands despite the presence of Trade Air.
ReplyDeleteIf those ATH flights go well I see Aegean add HER or RHO very easily.
Delete+100000
DeleteWe don't need P2P flights, only better arrival times to ATH to enable connections to ALL greek islands. Aegean is very efficient with connections.
DeleteWhat plane did Adria fly to Athens?
ReplyDeleteA319
DeleteWow nice. Big p2p numbers?
DeleteWill see one day Slovenian schedule d airline?
ReplyDeleteHopefully yes.
DeleteAegean need to increase frequencies to LJU 4 weekly would be ideal!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have any idea how many landings per day there were during Adria's time? Reading the comment above made me wonder?
ReplyDeleteForecast for all LJU IFR movements for tomorrow is 55 (including cargo). The actual traffic on comparable day in 2019 was 97.
DeleteNice addition to the network and good luck 👍
ReplyDeleteNow I saw that EL AL flies to Ljubljana! How quietly they announced flights!
Sun d'Or flights.
DeleteThanks
DeleteThey have flown to LJU for years
Delete... operated by SmartWings. It's de facto charter but some tickets are on sale via EL AL. Those flights already operated before COVID.
DeleteWhat times we are living in! Airline extends summer schedule for LJU for two weeks, and this is news flash :(
DeleteAnd someone might still comment that LJU situation is perfectly perfect. :-P
