It would be but JU and W6 cut many frequencies in winter. Very few additions for this year. Growth will be up to 10% in summer.

Yes JU is up by 30% so 15% at the airport level. They don't fly full so they will add extra 5-6%.

Congrats to Belgrade. As it is becoming a transfer airport, it would be nice to have the split between O&D pax, and transfer pax.

Also, Lufthansa group has a capacity of almost 1 million seats (992.311), that's quite big, and shows the importance of BEG as a market. They plan to add frequencies next year from FRA and MUC, so it will be interesting to see how they fare.

So December 2022 was weaker than same month 2019, whereas in November the situation was the opposite?
I expected that full recovery was achieved in Q4 and that every month was record one.

Spectacular growth. Not just growing, but growing much faster than the Ex Yu regional competitor. Gap in passengers also increased over years:

9 000 000+ via BEG, INI, KVO. 100%.

Honestly happy to see LH itself a bit down. Especially on long distance flights, their service has become insufferable -- they keep winning the race to the bottom.

My bad, 41% and 29% variances are YTD, not MTD as I mistakenly concluded.
20:06

The lower LH numbers are a result of the direct flights to ORD and reduced need to use it as a transfer airport. This will increase even further when YYZ/YWG or YUL flights start.

2.3 times bigger than the second busiest airport in December.

Hopefully JU will increase frequencies to SVO and return to MSQ. It will have a double effect, as most of those passengers will fly to TIV throughout the year, which is another return leg of full flights. Yeah, I know the EU is thumbing its nose to these two places, but flights can be re-introduced discretely. Given that there is no competition in Europe, this would be a lucrative venture.

Nope. They didn't bring the third daily from MUC that's why. Extra flights from FRA started quite late.

If BEG doesn't have room, is BJY an option in the future?

JU never flew to MSQ.

Turkey has flights from Belarus and they are a NATO member. Turkey is RAKING in the profits these last 2 years.

Guys these are capacity numbers in the table (number of seats offered) not number of passengers flown but it can give you a good idea of how many passengers they have.

Turkish airlines does not fly to Belarus. Some subsidiary from Turkey flies there. But given that it only opened 2 years ago and has 14 large airplanes they must be doing something right.

Can you list the others? 1 ATH, 2 OTP, 3 HER , 4?

I think 3 more terminals are needed too.

1. IST
2. ATH
3. OTP
4. HER
5. BEG

Though neither OTP or HER are on the Balkan peninsula. Bucharest is north of Danube while Heraklion is on Crete, an island. Difference between BEG and HER is some 800.000 passengers.

From this info and another one. Load factor for Air Serbia. 4,19M and capacity 5,08M result is more than 82%. BRAVO!

4,19M includes INI and KVO while 5,08M is just BEG. And it is not sure if charters are included in 5,08M.

^ it's not included. It clearly states that it is scheduled capacity, meaning capacity on scheduled routes.

9 million is very doable and probably will be easily achieved.

@admin, does the number of 5,08M capacity of Air Serbia includes summer charter flights or not?

As indicated in the article, it only includes capacity on scheduled flights. It does not include charters which are not put on general sale

Thanks. Do you know what was the capacity of charter flights?

Great year for Air Serbia and Wizz and good to see others have seen number going up. Over the past few years the Belgrade market has developed so much and that's amazing, but what would be the ceiling for such fast growth? 9 or 10 mil maybe? Surely at some point maintaining double digit growth becomes increasingly difficult and comes time for consolidation with lower but steady growth?
