      Since the beginning of the year, literally every month, some "neighbors" worry about how Tirana will overtake Belgrade. At the same time, ignoring how their "prestigious" airport was literally overrun by both Belgrade and Tirana.

      Uhmm, it's actually the other way round. In July, TIA had 67,049 less PAX than BEG, in August only 46,806 PAX less, so you can say every month TIA is closer to BEG. ;)

      Actually it's only our neighbors that are constantly comparing BEG and TIA. Everyone else in Serbia is focused on BUD now that we overtook SOF and SKG. Actually the difference with SKG is quite big right now.

      A lot of the growth in TIA is fueled because european tourists are switching from Croatia to Albania.

      Actually a lot of them are going to Albania because of the FR-W6 war and because tickets are unreasonably cheap.

      Up until the end of AUG:
      BEG 5.107.975
      BUD 9.615.000
      That won't be easy to overcome.

      No data available yet. Despite Blue Air going bankrupt, Wizz Air is doubling capacity and now has 16 based aircraft. Hi Sky took several regular routes. They also have a pretty big charter program from OTP.

    You informed that after July 2023 BEG had 4.188.703 pax https://www.exyuaviation.com/2023/08/belgrade-airport-registers-busiest-july.html

    If we add August numbers (932.165) the final number Jan-Aug is
    4.188.703 + 932.165 = 5.120.868 and not 5.107.975

      Realistic estimate based upon the upcoming winter schedule is around 7.9m

      Don't forget that JU will have a huge winter expansion. 441 weekly flights compared to 299 last year.

      Not very close but getting closer.

      BUD: 9.615.000
      BEG: 5.107.000

      However BUD was always some 60% ahead of BEG while now the difference was brought down to 53%. If this winter turns out to be good then BEG can bring it down to less than 50%.

      It doesn't really matter since both Istanbul and Constantinople are words originating in the Greek language. Slavic term for the city is Цариград/Carigrad/Carihrad.

    That promotion that JU just ran for cheap seats will no doubt have a large impact. We made 3 family trips just because of it.
