Sarajevo largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, April 2026



7054 pax with croatia is extremely low for 10 weekly flights, is it not?
ReplyDeleteIt is capacity - number of offered seats, not passenger numbers.
DeleteThat is the seat capacity. The actual number of PAX is probably not over 4k
DeleteDisappointing that JU didn't make the list of top 10 airlines by seat capacity.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's really more disappointing than the airport's passenger numbers falling. Some people here...
Delete^ every single month someone writes the same comment about JU and SJJ.
DeleteExtra JU flights would of been nice to ease up the fall in pax numbers. The drop is small enough for JU to have had a dramatic effect in reducing that drop.
DeleteWhy should JU care about SJJ's passenger decline?
DeleteSJJ is declining because of the Middle East crisis. Nobody in Sarajevo can do anything about that...
DeleteTuzla airport has negative effcets for this as well... especially Wizz air routes....
ReplyDeleteYes, more than Middle East crisis for sure! Hahahah
DeleteTuzla je uzela ponovo dosta putnika,tu je i rat na BI.
ReplyDeleteBas tako , kako napreduje Tuzla za par godina bit ce u bolje povezana za Sarajevski aerodrom
DeleteTuzla nikada neće biti ni 50% sarajevskog aerodroma, za to bi im trebalo preko milion putnika što sigurno neće dostići.
DeleteZa sada ne , ali za par godina ovako ako produze dodji ce blizu miliona
DeleteTuzla najavljuje 3 bazni avion uskoro,Tuzla ce imati bolju povezanost sa dijasporom od Sarajeva ako ovako nastave.Sledece godine sa 3 baznim bi mogli imati milion putnika.
DeleteSarajevu je bitnije da ljudi imaju gdje otići na odmor, nego dijaspora, kao i da turisti mogu doći u Sarajevo. To je daleko zdraviji model od Tuzle.
DeleteAnd some people were saying here how SJJ will overtake SKP
ReplyDeleteOnce again ,I said that never will happend. SJJ did not overtake not even come close to SKP, even when SKP was stagnating. The difference between both airports on a year basis is more than 1 million pax, thats says all
DeleteBut this negative effect SJJ is facing now it is also from TZL growth especially W6 routes , and by the time TZL will really come close to SJJ
The sole reason SJJ is facing this are the Gulf closures and resumption delays, not Tuzla. The LF is actually higher for Q1 2026 in Sarajevo. Let's all wait until Ryanair introduces a new batch of flights in the fall, discussions are almost wrapped up with BHDCA and Canton.
DeleteTuzla can be up to millions, and Sarajevo can be up to 3 million. How close can it be ?
DeleteAnonymous 20:12 , The difference between Skopje and Sarajevo is more than 1 million and Sarajevo will never catch up. The difference between Tuzla and Sarajevo is over 1.5 million and Tuzla will catch up with Sarajevo. Your logic is great, kudos. How did you come to that conclusion?
Delete21:30 because both SKP and TZL grow and SJJ not growing at all ,thats the fact for now, it is so simple
Delete@Anon 21:30 Tuzla nikad nece stici Sarajevo,to je istina ali bit ce blize sve Sarajevu oni imaju mogucnost da dostignu 100 000 putnika mjesecno.
DeleteSJJ grew 5% this year January-April, which equates to about 100k passengers if the pattern is applied to the entire year, Tuzla might grow by 250-300k. However Sarajevo will have multiple additional lines in June and July which might launch it to 2.4-2.5M at the end of the year.
DeleteIf additional Ryanair flights are indeed introduced Sarajevo will easily hit 3M next year, Can Tuzla get enough new routes for a 500k jump? Can they get any? Highly doubtful given that the LF is 65-75% on most lines so far.
@Anonymous 23:27 , Sarajevo has seen growth for 28 months in a row, last year they had 2.2 million passengers. In that period of growth, almost a million additional passengers. How is that not growth? Could you please explain that to me? 28 consecutive months of growth, one month of decline and that means that it is not growing at all? Even though this year, with this decline, there is a growth of 5%? I am asking for an explanation. Write only the facts.
DeletePopunjenost linija Wizz Aira iz Tuzle nije 65-70% vec 85-90% ne znam sta vi pricate?
DeleteSvi Yu-aerodromi ce imati minus. Neki ovdje kao da ne razumiju sta se u svijetu desava.
ReplyDeleteI think because headlines in mainstream media are still sunshine and roses.
DeleteBtw, yesterday Air India announced it is cutting long haul flights between May and July because of rising costs.
Za sada samo SJJ.
DeleteFor now only SJJ have this big minus , no one else in Ex-yu
Delete^ why don't you calm down? They have reduced numbers one month and overall still growth. If 4.7% is "big minus", then their 4.9% Jan-Apr growth is a "big plus" right?
DeleteBritish Airways to LHR maybe? BA started direct flights to STL many bosnians are there.
