NEWS FLASH
airBaltic will expand its operations from Ljubljana in 2026. The Latvian flag carrier will introduce an additional weekly frequency on its Riga - Ljubljana service for the entire summer season, which begins on March 29. Between January and October 2025, the airline carried 18.675 passengers on the route, achieving a strong average cabin load factor of 88.8%.
And I'm pretty sure LPA is going 2x weekly next winter too! Air Baltic really is starting to notice Ljubljana...let's hope for more in the summer/next year!
ReplyDelete@admin on the air baltic website it shows that there will be daily flights from december 16th onwards, what does the system say?
DeleteFor me it shows them, but once I click on them, no flights show
DeleteThere are no daily flights in the system, just the regular two weekly service.
Delete2 weekly for LPA? NICE
DeleteApologies, I thought the poster was referring to Riga flights. The system shows one weekly service to Las Palmas.
DeleteOn which day is the additional rotation?
ReplyDeleteOn Tuesdays
DeleteThanks
Deletewow that's a fantastic load factor for a 10 month period.
ReplyDeleteThe LF is stable trough the whole year, this is a great achievement by airBaltic. Even now in december the prices are as high as 300 eur one way.
DeleteAnd let's not forget they were sending A320 throught the summer, so additional 40-50 seats per rotation every sunday compared to A220
DeleteWait so Air Baltic was leasing an A320 when they have a ton of their own A220 leased to other airlines?
DeleteYes, they do this a lot. They cancel their unprofitable prime flights to operate wet-leases. This is often criticised in Latvia given the support of the taxpayer the enjoy, like OU.
DeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeletePerfect! Now we only need a few more new routes for the summer and we are gucci 👀
ReplyDeleteEverybody wants to visit beautiful sLOVEnia.
ReplyDelete@admin, any news on Vuelings summer schedule?
ReplyDeleteThey scheduled it, its sadly only 2x per week with some weeks only being once weekly, a disappointment imo.
DeleteApril and October are 1w, but i think the schedule is not finalised yet.
DeleteWhy would they go 1 weekly? Anyone knows what are the LF like?
DeleteThey are constantly flying 90%+ full now in December with 3 flights per week. A few times there was only a couple of seats left available. I really don’t understand how they can’t fly at least three times per week in the summer, or if not that, AT LEAST not have those weird period with one weekly flight. I really hope this is not the final schedule.
Deleteim sure they will add more flights ...
DeleteI am wondering myself when they will reconnect Ljubljana with Sofia with a direct route?
