NEWS FLASH
British Airways will increase frequencies on its London Heathrow - Ljubljana service next summer. The carrier will add an extra weekly departure on the route during the peak summer travel period in June, July and August, for a total of nine weekly services. The additional flight will be added on Sundays from June 21 until August 30. As a result, the carrier will have two daily flights between the two cities over both days of the weekend. British Airways has scheduled Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft on the route throughout the 2026 summer season.
Nice, so in addition to new UK flights LON is also getting a small increase with BA and EY adding an additional weekly flight.
ReplyDeleteEY?
DeleteSorry, U2, had a brain fart
DeleteU2 didn't add any new weekly flight yet on London Ljubljana route.
DeleteWhere you hear that?
They are going 7 weekly in april instead of july, and they are keeping 7 flights per week until november instead of going to 6 weekly in october.
Deletehe thinks compared to last year ...
DeleteI mean next year compared to this one
DeleteI hope U2 add more weekly flight v visoki sezoni. Would be great if they add 3 or 4 weekly flight and then we have 3 daily London together with British.
DeleteI'm not gonna lie, this makes too much sense to me
ReplyDeleteWhy?
DeleteGetting an additionally LHR frequency actually means that the service is running excellent, considering the extreme scarcity of slots leading to the cancellations of the likes of BEG, STR, RIX, CGN and others. Congrats LJU.
ReplyDeleteCGN was cancelled because of rising taxes in Germany and the DUS catchment area. BEG never worked because Wizz and JU have a lot of capacity already. RIX is served by a oneworld partner from Gatwick. STR was cut because of low-cost competition from FR and EW, and high taxes in Germany.
DeleteLJU in the summer is a more lucrative market than all of the destinations above for London.
Bravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteBravo Krasnja!
DeleteOh my God. The nonsense.
DeleteThey fly to Graz three times weekly from Gatwick year round, it would be great if they restarted winter flights again.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that British Airways doesn't launch some kind of flights to SJJ. Bosnia and Herzegovina is more and more popular among British tourists, like the rest of EX-YU, and transfers through LHR would for sure also work.
ReplyDeleteLeaving BEG market is wild to me.
Delete@13:41 It's not that surprising that they left BEG, because LHR is served by Air Serbia. I'm not surprised when a foreign airline leaves BEG or ZAG, if JU or OU is operating the same route, but I'm surprised that those airlines don't launch SJJ, when they don't face competition.
DeleteThere is no competition in SJJ because there is not enough demand. If BA does not fly to Stuttgart or Belgrade, it will certainly not fly to Sarajevo.
DeleteBA isn't going to waste a valuable LHR slot pair flying to SJJ.
Delete@15:13 How can there be competition? Who? From ZAG and BEG the flag carriers of those countries are flying. Even if Bosnia and Herzegovina had a flag carrier, LHR flights wouldn't make sense, because it would hardly have any codeshare or interline agreements. British Airways don't fly to Stuttgart, but Eurowings operate LHR-STR.
DeleteWell they did for BEG, why wouldn't they try SJJ? They still fly to Tirana, is it considered more premium than SJJ?
DeleteTirana is far more premium than Sarajevo in terms of the prices they can charge both point to point and serving the huge community in the US of Albanian origin. So to answer the question it is.
DeleteIt probably is more premium, not to mention the demand between Albania and UK which is many times higher compared to SJJ.
