Zagreb's largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, April 2026
Will this be the first month since the collapse of Adria where Lju will have growth while Zagreb won't?
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteSo does that mean airlines will have to have a 95% LF in May in order for the airport to avoid a decline?
ReplyDeleteHow did you come up with that figure?
DeleteWell because they'll need a high LF to avoid a decline. Then there are OU routes with a catastrophic LF.
DeleteOUI largest operater in ZAG. And still not good for someone, or just for one
ReplyDeleteThat’s exact reason for passengers decline
DeleteOU is NOT the largest operator. Ryanair carries more passengers.
DeleteSJJ, ZAG...which is next?
ReplyDeletePRN potentially during the summer.
DeleteWhy do you think so?
DeleteBig cuts by GP aviation, noticeable cuts by Eurowings and little capacity growth planned for this summer even before the crisis. Growth was expected this summer between 3-5%. I'm guessing its now under 1%.
