    April had Easter in the middle of it so that helped a lot.
    Hopefully it won't be the only month this year with a double digit growth. 🤞

      Capacity is up 15% in June according to article from yesterday so I'm sure June passenger growth will be in the double digits. First time over 1 million seats scheduled in June.

      Does it mean additional flights or just better load factor?

    Finally, two digit percentage growth! Hopefully Belgrade will have record summer. Would be nice if we can get construction and renovation update from the airport as we didn't have them in a while.

      There will be an update on the construction development by the end of the month, and on the lounge early next month.

      @18:19 They still have "appology for work" panels all over the terminal so I think there is little to be reported. JU new lounge has a heavy lock on the door

    JU growth in April was 7.3% compared with April last year. It would be interesting to know its load factor too.

      No, JU growth in April was 15%. LF was not published, but as I remember from an article here it is believed to be around 72%.

      Thanks Admin, so 78% LF is very good!

      So JU contributed to roughly half of the growth. Means others did well as well.

      Well real growth will come from June because in June we are getting 7 new routes. All of them will be operational from July, so in July growth will be huge. In August more than 1 million is expected.

      As reported here yesterday, Wizz is increasing June capacity in Belgrade by 42%. That will also fuel the growth to hundreds of thousands of additional passengers.

    With the new flights to China this was to be expected. Just wait, in two years it will be significantly higher.

    That wide gap size in the terminal facade is bothering my OCD for years.

    Basically that's how much they had in August some years before.

    Zašto se novim konekcijama sa Tesle bavi samo AS ili Vlada Srbije? Ima li nameru aerodromska uprava da dovede nekog prevoznika? Njima nove linije najviše trebaju? Bože, koliko su lenji, loši, glupi...

      Наравно да не. Аеродром је јако лоше вођен и то постаје јасније сваким даном све више. Неки су се уздали да ће нови директор нешто променити али ето нас ту где смо. Ја бих уз ваш коментар о Ер Србији и Влади додао и Визер. Аеродром је скроз пасиван и незаинтересован... или пак неспособан?

      It says above, half of the YoY growth came from JU, half from other airlines, for example new route by China Southern. Wizz is increasing capacity significantly and adding 2 new destinations, FDH and ALC. Government and JU were not involved. They have to be involded for bilateras just like everywhere else in the world, for example for NQZ. Anoter new carrier not involving government or JU is SkeExpress. But you would know all of this if you were smart and capable 😀
