NEWS FLASH
Swiss International Air Lines will increase frequencies on its Zurich - Ljubljana service during the 2024 summer season. Starting March 31, the carrier plans to operate double daily flights between the two cities, up from ten weekly during the 2023 summer. Equipment will vary throughout next year with A220s, A320s, A320neos, E190s and E190 E2s all scheduled on the route, with the latter two operated by Helvetic Airways on Swiss’ behalf. Swiss handled 81.963 passengers on its Ljubljana service during the January - October period, with an average cabin load factor of close to 80%. Passenger numbers are up 10.7% on the same period in 2019.
Nice! I believe soon some days will be triple daily…
ReplyDeletePerfect, what they need is 7am departure similar to what Lufthansa has, AirFrance moved their 2nd daily flight too, so we desperately need at least 2 departures at around 7
ReplyDeleteYes, early to zurich and belgrade would be awesome
Delete"A220s, A320s, A320neos, E190s and E190 E2s all scheduled on the route" They really are throwing everything at Ljubljana haha. Only A340 is missing now
ReplyDeleteThey send their A330/340s to MBX :)
DeleteThey actually operate widebodies in Europe I know ZRH-ATH operated by B777 in summer!
DeleteBrussels is also daily instead of 6 weekly.
ReplyDeleteFinally!
DeleteThe schedule is not great though, a morning and an evening flight would be ideal…
Deleteit was double daily in Adria days... I agree it is better than nothing, but it is still very low compared to what it was before. While on the other hand Zurich is way better than what it was.
DeleteFor some period there were 3 daily flights, there was also afternoon flight, usually with CRJ200.
DeleteNo two daily flights lol......
Delete1X A319 is with 140 seats.... = 2X CRJ of JP
They could easily launch Geneva with A220-100 or E190 like two or three weekly…
ReplyDeleteno demand to Geneva. and they're well covered with transfer via ZRH.
DeleteIn 2019 GVA had more indirect passengers from LJU than RIX, LUX.. so much for "no demand".
DeleteGVA demand is strong and consistent from LJU.
DeleteAs I said in previous article, on average around 4000 seats a week during summer. Even if there are on average around 3500 seats a week during whole year that is more than 180 000 seats during whole year and with 80% LF is like 150 000 passengers a year.
ReplyDeleteStill surprised they don't fly to ZAG...
ReplyDeleteI guess there is simply not enough demand
DeleteAgree, but don't you think it's a bit odd. I understand Serbian diaspora in Switzerland, but who travels from Slovenia to Switzerland? How do we know how many people would travel from ZAG to Zurich or Geneva?
DeleteSwitzerland is number one export partner gor Slovenia
DeleteFraport und Doychlant liebe this. Mama Lufti will be happy to keep feeding her siblings both in the airport and on the tarmac. Austrian is next! :D
ReplyDeleteI think Mutti will first send Eurowings than its bastard child OS
DeleteEurowings to Berlin SHOULD happen
DeleteBerlin has never worked from LJU, hence the lack of flights.
DeleteEasyJet operated BER-LJU for three years (even resumed it in summer 2020 during pandemic). I guess it was just for fun and they were losing money during all these years. Mentioning LJU and EasyJet, it is sad that it went from airline with most capacity at the airport to not even top 10. Bravo Fraport!
Deletethey even planned additional weekly rotation
Delete╔Great for Ljubljana ¡
