Excellent. It was probably a record day for passenger numbers too.
ReplyDeleteThat's enough to use two runways simultaneously.
ReplyDeleteEr no
DeleteIn another world perhaps hahah
DeleteShame about 2nd runway missed opporrunity.
DeleteAll they needed to do is expropriate strip of land 10m wide, not even the entire length of the runway.
Well Belgrade airport will never be so large that two runways are needed for further growth. Look at what Gatwick can do. However i agree it was a missed opportunity to set out a development that allowed for two runways and sufficient space to start with a new terminal jn the 2040s.
DeleteF...ng Gatwick argument is there!
DeleteNow now stop with the LGW bashing just because it's a fully functioning one runway airport
DeleteWhy would anyone bash Gatwick? Its a great airport
DeleteSvaka cast i kontrolorima letenja i aerodromskim službama.
ReplyDeleteNaravno, ali pre svega putnicima bez kojih ne bi bilo toliko letova. Onima koijma je rečeno da linija za Njujork neće drugo potrajati ali su oni su ipak pokazali da hoće.
DeleteOK je let za Njujork ali bilo je još 365 poletanja i sletanja tog dana.
DeleteIt would have been great if they were able to handle it. I got through for a connection just today and in the afternoon there wasn't a single flight on time and my baggage hasn't arrived at the destination...
ReplyDeleteHave you maybe thought it has something to do with record European airspace congestion which is causing many flights to be delayed across Europe? No?
Delete@21:52 Belgrade airport is not on the Top10 FlightRadar24 Europe airport disruption map today. You are lucky, it was much worse in ATH, AMS and FRA.
DeleteYes, I have.
ReplyDeleteSo, out of curiosity I checked a couple of airports busier than Belgrade - which I know it doesn't mean anything, but all they performed way better.
Anyway, my impression is that they had some issues with ground operation today.
That's okay, people get wrong impressions all the time.
DeleteWelcome to travel in the 21st century in European summer. Happens everywhere. It does not mean, like you wrongly concluded, they can't handle the traffic. They might have had a bad day, although it does not seem to be anywhere near as some other airprots in Europe today.
DeleteAnd also, just as a sidenote, Belgrade Airport does not do any handling. All handling is outsourced.
