Zagreb’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, September 2023
Zagreb is literally unstoppable!
ReplyDeletebecause of what?
DeleteUnprecedented growth
DeleteWith this septemeber result they actually made their overall result for 2023 worse.
DeleteOU has literally 3x more seats offered than the LH Group, so much of them being just a feeder. Beats with ease some people's delusions.
DeleteThe only delusional person is you. Check how many of those seats are to LH group hubs.
DeleteLH flights to Zagreb is not what makes OU a feeder. OU flies for LH and other LH carriers to their hubs at a loss to fill their planes. Same as what Adria did. That is why it has been a loss making airline with 15 destinations for most of its existence.
DeleteOU flies to SKP

Trolling much ??
ZAG will definitely have higher figures in 2024 following the recent Ryanair announcements of frequency increases especially in Sommer 2024.
ReplyDeleteIf Ryanair bases fourth aircraft in Zagreb next year they will have more capacity than Croatia.
DeleteNot if, they will.
DeleteAre you saying that Ryanair will be airline with most passengers in ZAG next year?
Delete@17:31, well look at the table. The difference is not huge at all. OU does not have any planned expansion for the time being while Ryanair are already increasing existing routes such as Stansted for instance. The difference between OU and FR is merely 30 thousand passengers, which is nothing.
DeleteActually that's the difference in seat capacity on sale. Given that Ryanair has a much higher load factor, I am expecting that next year Ryanair will overtake Croatia Airlines in Zagreb.
DeleteFR currently has 88 flights on sale for next summer. Still planed 3 aircraft in ZAG.
DeleteIt's pretty impressive that the passenger growth is more than 2.5 times higher than capacity growth. That's definitely the Ryanair effect.
ReplyDeleteThat's because OU has much better loads these days
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteRegional leader!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.
DeleteBelgrade Nikola Airport welcomed 833.761 passengers last month, marking its busiest September on record. The figure represents an increase of 28.9% on the pre-pandemic 2019 and growth of 37.8% on last year. During the first three quarters of the year, Belgrade Airport handled 5.95 million travellers, up 25% and 42% on 2019 and 2022 respectively.
ZAG had more passengers in September than in July. Not sure if that's ever happened but more importantly; it only emphasizes further how unbelievably nonsensical OU's policy of ignoring ZAG is.
ReplyDeletethey don't have aircraft, also chasing profits for airline is more important. Tourist flights are guaranteed full capacity @Zagreb they get max 80-85% LF, where's tourist flights are fully booked for months ahead.
