DeleteWow, Sarajevo keeps shining!!! Lets hope for a Ryan base next year, and the return of Wizz base as well!
ReplyDeleteRyanair avoids opening bases outside the EU/UK as much as it possibly can.
DeleteIt would be fantastic if they actually stationed aircraft and crews in SJJ, BNX, TGD.
What SJJ needs can easily be achieved without a base as well. Relying on Wizz Air or Ryanair is a big risk.
DeleteThis new terminal in Sarajevo is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhy JU isn't taking SJJ seriously is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteDemand for travel is obviously there. Why can't they add and time better their flights so as to get some of that demand flying through its network in BEG?
An early morning departure from Sarajevo to connect to JU's morning wave from Belgrade would help so much.
DeleteAnd also an evening return, even some days of the week.
The ATR is the ideal aircraft for it. And JU has enough of these airplanes to realize this increased flying to SJJ.
@11.37 Because BEG cannot compete with DLH (FRA), AUA (VIE), SWR (ZRH) and LOT (WAW) and THY (IST) as a transfer airport. Bigger players with better route network and better time-tables. And now even SAS started flights from CPH during the summer, that is another legacy carrier with transfer potentials. Let's not mention RYR's meteoric rise and destinations they brought in. WZZ to some extent. The number of the passengers going through BEG would be negligible for overall number added to BEG transfer pool, so ASL is smart enough not to waste resources. BEG as a hun-and-spoke airport from SFRJ days is looooooooong gone, and I am not sure where those sentiments are still coming from SJJ passengers would contribute to its number? Even BNX is insignificant in its route network and it's never been upgraded. [S.K.]
DeleteSarajevo needs to be connected to Amsterdam!
ReplyDeleteSJJ- Eindhoven is more realistic!
ReplyDeleteSARAJEVO! S A R A J E V O!
ReplyDeleteIncredible, love to see it. Hopefully soon, Paris,LHR,AMS and DUB. Anyone know whats going on with the tax they wanted to reintroduce? That could very well cause all this to collapse unfortunately if Ryanair leaves because of it.
ReplyDeleteCalm down , be happy that Ryanair is there and flying , and if they dont fix the issue with the taxes , Ryanair can dissapear by night next year.
DeleteSarajevo ide ispred Skopja
ReplyDeleteMoze samo u tvojim snovima , pogledaj razliku prvo a onda pisi komentare bez logiku ;)
DeleteSarajevo trenutno ima oko 500k putnika a Skopje 800k zaklucno sa mesec April , kako to ide ispred nije mi jasno? A da vidicemo na kraje godine totalni rezultat!
DeleteSarajevo is still behind, but in a year or two it's possible.
DeleteSJJ never reach SKP numbers or overpass , even with all the cuts SKP have and all the high percentage SJJ have still did not reach SKP numbers , yes coming close but not reach. Last year difference was 1.2m passengers. This year SJJ is expected to get 2.2 and SKP 3.3 so it will be a huge difference again!!
DeleteBut the difference is shrinking
DeleteYep the difference between SKP and SJJ is definitely shirinking. Plus, on top of that Bosnia has 3 more other international airports, and Macedonia has only one besides Skopje.
DeleteYes if difference with 1 milion passengers in the end of the year for u is shrinking then something is not ok with u ;)
DeleteYes 3 airports vs 2 , so that one in Bosnia having million passengers each year and affecting SJJ right ? What a comments u will read here🤣🤣🤣
DeleteWhich difference is shrinking ,are u looking the results ? SJJ January 100k SKP 200k , SJJ February 180k , SJJ March 100k , SKP 200+ ,SJJ April 185K , SKP 280k , where the diffeence is shrinking ? SJJ cant even reach 200k in a single month.
DeleteOf course the difference is shrinking, SKP 2 years ago had more than 100% the passengers of Sarajevo, this year it will have some 40-50% more, how is that not shrinking? Also BL and TZ will have around 700,000 passengers and MO around 100,000.
DeleteHow can difference be 40-50 % when this year SJJ is expected to have 2.2 and SKP 3.2 ? It is still 1 million diffrence what are you talking about. Even with all the high increase SJJ did not come close to SKP ,plus SJJ never had a month hitting 300k in a single month , but SKP does for summer , thats few examples how big difference is. Other airports in Bosnia does not affect SJJ results, then SKP is losing this year almost 300k from OHD, SJJ is capital we are speaking for capitals cities do not put ohter airports in capital city results buddy!!!
Delete50% of 2.2 million is 1.1 million lol, or did I miss something? And SKP this year will have around 1 mil more passengers than SJJ? So SKP from 2-3 years ago when it had 100% more passengers than Sarajevo, this year has some 40-50% more passengers, that is a huge jump for Sarajevo, and a huge drop for Skopje in the SKP-SJJ relation. And SJJ is just starting, whereas SKP had a Wizz base for years, so sit tight and see how next few years unfold for SJJ, this year in summer SJJ will also have 300k in a single month :)
DeleteI still can't believe that there is no direct flights between Sarajevo and Berlin, even after the call for subsidies. In fact there no more flights to Berlin from any airport in the country. The flights to Banja Luka and Tuzla from Berlin were always full and were going 2-3 times per week to each city. But yet no new flights in sight...
ReplyDeleteThis is what I am saying all the times , Gulf routes from SJJ dit not bring any benefit for the airport , and its not helo with number grows. SJJ as all Ex-yu airport need to be focused on getting European main hubs , and after all that can consider any other routes. Btw 45k with Ryanair in a single month is low numbers. W6 in SKP have more then 150k any month of the year,just to compare...
ReplyDeleteCompare Ryanair, which does not have a single aircraft based in Sarajevo, with WizzAir, which has 5 aircraft based in Skopje, really?
DeleteCompare to the cuts that W6 is currently having in SKP my point is that still achieving good numbers on a monthly basis , and Ryanair is in full power in SJJ right...
DeleteIn full glory with 0 based planes against 5 based planes? What do you think if Ryanair had 5 based planes in Sarajevo, what would the numbers be then? 27 destinations against 11?
DeleteCestitke iz Crne zgote :-) Bas lijepo
DeleteTo je nase Sarajevo 👏 👏 👏
DeleteThe think is Ryanair would never base a plane in SJJ or open a base. Be happy they dont leave by night next year same as what Wizz do , dissapear in the air ;)
DeleteAs you also wrote that Ryanair will not come to Sarajevo? There is no fear, Ryanair is expanding the number of destinations, negotiations are underway for a base, which Ryanair officials themselves have confirmed.
DeleteDo you know why they come? Because Wizz dissapear in night and they use that situation , witnout that happening they would never come to SJJ my friend. It same if Wizz leave let say example SKP ,Ryanair will enter in a matter of seconds,as well to any other place they have opportunity. SJJ maybe can get new destinations , but base no , they are not opening base there because of other factors we all know!
DeleteSJJ can't even reach 200k in a single month :D
ReplyDeleteOf course, that is not true, but in May it will be over 200 thousand, and in July it will probably be over 300 thousand. We need to do some fact-checking.
DeleteLol of course it can reach 200,000, why do you think it cant? :)
DeleteKUM January,February,March and now April numbers are just above in the table , where are u seeing 200k? All the numberes showinf for July to come close to 280k , check before commenting.
Delete20:47 yes it will reach in summer peak months , but now after 4 months in the year still did not reach , thats what I am trying to say :))
DeleteNo it will actually reach 200k now in May, thats not a peak summer month, is it? :)
DeleteOk let see if it will reach in May ;)
DeleteAmazing!
