Belgrade’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, September 2023
wow that is strong for September. Well done
ReplyDeleteso 7.5 will be this years performance
ReplyDeleteMuch more, something around 7,75 million.
DeleteIf we look at the BEG 2019 numbers for last quarter(1,4mil) and increase them with let's say 20%, we can predict total number of 7,6-7,7 mil passengers in 2023, which is absolutely fantastic result. It can even go higher to 7,8mil , because I took lower percentage increase, average is 26% for this year.
ReplyDeleteBEG would need to frow by 46% to 2019 to ahieve 8 million mark. It seems that such growth is not realistic, so 8 million mark will wait for 2024
Deleteex yu,
ReplyDeleteyou mixed up percentages for sep 2019 and sep 2022 in spreadsheet.
Fixed, thank you
DeleteDoes TK capacity also include Anadolou?
ReplyDeleteThis is only TK.
DeleteYou have anadolujet numbers in the table
Delete62% of Budapest, really not bad!
ReplyDeleteOr 111% of Zagreb, not bad at all!
DeleteFor September or for year?
Deleteyear
DeleteThat is, we will be able to see 8 million in 2024, and if we add Nish -9?
ReplyDeleteRealistically, how many passengers will you see during 2024 in Belgrade? Any guesses and calculations?
ReplyDeleteClose to 9 million
DeleteIf it reaches 7.5 million and you apply 20% (which seems very realistic given growth this year) it will be exactly on 9m, however I can see it growing beyond
DeleteMy expectations for 2024 are that a new Wizz Air aircraft is coming as well as a small expansion of JU, possibly AirPink as well. Who else can we expect?
ReplyDeleteWizz Air fifth aircraft.
DeleteJU another ~15 routes and major frequency increases.
FZ increase to 18pw - EK is expected in 2025 with A350.
I hope your words come true. Especially for Emirates.
DeleteDubai certainly has significant tourist traffic as well.
DeleteNot only business, transfers and diaspora.
DeleteWhat lines would Airpink operate?
DeleteIMO good will be:
Mostar
Brač
Portoroz
Tuzla
Greek routes.
Trieste
Cluj Napoca
Timisoara
Belgrade- Nos, Kraljevo
Ju won't launch that many new routes but existing ones will be boosted. That will generate a lot of extra traffic, we will see in November when many increases start.
DeleteJU will definitely launch around 10-15 new routes, however, many existing routes will get significant increases in the summer.
DeleteI think they will launch next year not more than 5 routes.
DeleteIf we take into consideration that Air Serbia carried 456.790 passengers during September (of course, not all of them were flying from Belgrade), its more then half of Belgrade passengers :)
ReplyDeleteThey will virtually have a monopoly, I guess that was the goal of the government from day 1. Hopefully Wizz Air fights them for our sake.
DeleteSo in your world a 50% share is a monopoly. Ok, whatever.
DeleteIt's over 60% at this point
DeleteNo, it isn't as JU flies also to KVO and INI.
Delete50-55% is normal to have for strong air carrier in its home airport. Have a look on LH in FRA.
When JU will start buying new planes instead leasing them?
ReplyDeleteWhy would they do that lol?
DeleteThey said when their fleet gets to 35 aircraft.
DeleteMa idemo breee
ReplyDeleteNow
ReplyDeleteNow, if they could just get customs organized
