Zagreb’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, February 2024
The FR effect is obvious. Pity that OU can't get its act together.
ReplyDeleteThe full FR effect will kick in this April. From May-September Ryanair will be carrying way more passengers than Croatia Airlines in Zagreb. When you add in Pula, Rijeka, Dubrovnik and Zadar, Ryanair will have hundreds of thousands of passengers more than Croatia Airlines every single month.
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteBravo! 10 EUR tickets had great impact on total numbers.
DeleteWell done, ZAG, impressive numbers. Congrats from Slovenia.
Delete@14:14 Whats wrong with the 10 euro tickets?
Delete@14:39 Nothing, just constatation.
DeleteFor airport it's definitely not so good. Dreaming about Emirates, high class airport, high taxes... and then Ryanair with few EUR tax. But even that is better then nothing.
@15:57 You sound quite sad. Zagreb Airport is profitable. No one is "dreaming about Emirates, high class airport, high taxes" whatever that even means.
DeleteAlso, here is a free lesson for you: a 70%-full Emirates 777 where each passenger pays the full amount of tax brings significantly more tax revenue to Zagreb Airport than Ryanair operating 12 rotations daily at 90% occupancy and at discounted taxes.
If true, that means: stop discounts to Ryan and bring Emirates back.

Emirates will be back, and jealousy will explode :) :) Be patient.
Emirates coming to Zagreb was least important event in the aviation. Jealousy did explode when Air Serbia started flying to New York in 2016, when Belgrade and Air Serbia set records in 2023 and will explode again when two more A330s arrive.
DeleteI am happy to hear that both Zagreb and Belgrade have fantastic results, amazing destination offers and hoping there will be much more, so both rich and poor can travel.
DeleteYou guys, who discuss about jealousy, have combined IQ less than my shoe size.

Delete@12:23 Well said!
DeleteVery good start to the year, perhaps, We might see even better results in coming months.
ReplyDelete4.1 million pax for this year quite likely, 4.2 million possible, anything over that figure would be a massive plus. I expect 2025 will see full effect of Ryan air increases. I am wondering what is actual seat capacity for March, April and May of this year? Does anyone know, or even for rest of this year, would be good to know. From total seat capacity, airport usually manages around 70-75%, so based on that principle we can easily deduce a ballpark figure for traffic in coming months.
Will ZAG airport management, that pays less than expected concession fees, be excited to see passenger numbers go over 4 million? Going over that number would mean they would have to pour more investement into airport expansion.
DeleteI think it is at 5 million not 4 that they are required to expand.
DeleteZagreb Airport does not want to expand. They will only support Ryanair's expansion so long as it does not reach a certain level of passengers.
DeleteConcession says in a year airport makes 4 million passengers.
DeleteAnon 16:13 Sorry, but I think so that is story for little kids. You think so that someone who invests hundreds millions EUR in a huge terminal, have problem to invest few more milions in additional part with 2-3 air bridges? No need for that for now, be real.

Did you read the question before answering ?? Question was, "I am wondering what is actual seat capacity for March, April and May of this year?" You somehow simple question turned in to politics and totally irrelevant topic! You know the saying, better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt
