    422.862/532.000 seats offered. That comes out to be 80%. I guess OU did not do so well.

    Zagreb is on the track to 4.3 million passengers this year, as things stand, October will also be over 400 000, I estimate it'll be just over 400 000, could be 402000, November will see massive drop down to 320 000, and December could be slightly better, around 325 000. Add all these up:

    3.265 + 400 + 320+ 325 = 4290, total however could be anywhere between 4.29 and 4.32 million. So 4.3 million basically. I'll be doing several flights to Zagreb and out, so I'll contribute to December noumbers (noumbers, not numbers, proper spelling of the word).

      Right now it depends on OU, they should keep this schedule. I fear they might start cutting.

    Zagreb is starting to remind me of Belgrade 10 years back just before Etihad jumped into JAT.
    Low cost carriers building a base for travel and now you just need a carrier who will take advantage of Zagreb improved position. OU could still do it with the correct people at the helm.

      On top of that, we cannot have strong LCC base and strong national carrier here. It is simple as ZAG is not that big market, it would become over saturated like Sofia and soon Tirana and might collapse if someone would hit on Ryan. Look what happen to Skopje.

      Naa, Zagreb isn't big market atm, it will be, soon enough. Slovenia, Croatia, tourism and noumber of large European carriers, not so many LCCs, but no doubt should Ryan air depart, Wizz air would waltz in like on a blind date and commit incest before you knew it.

      Exactly. I was just thinking the same thing. Zagreb reminds me of Belgrade circa 2013. - 2014. And yes, if someone capable invested into, or bought OU altogether ZAG has great potential.
      With that said, I don't think ZAG will ever have the same number of travelers as BEG, simply because BEG is the only relevant entry point to Serbia.
      Croatia, on the other hand has multiple successful airports.
      That's why BEG will eventually reach and surpass 10 million passengers...potentially 12 - 13 million as well.
      The only way ZAG could achieve at least similar pax number to BEG, within the next 20 years or so, would be establishing itself as a hub and directly competing with Belgrade.
      Otherwise Zagreb's plateau is likely 8 - 8.5 million passengers, with Split's being around 5 million, Dubrovnik's 4 - 4.5 million, Zadar's 2 - 2.5 million, Pula's around 1.5 million.
      Rijeka will remain where it's at and given the direction in which it's going anyway, it'll likely be transformed into an air force logistics base. Osijek could go up to 500k, especially given the new large investments and industrial development in that region.
