The CEO of operator Airports of Montenegro, Roko Tolić, is in discussions with Wizz Air over the replacement of some underperforming routes from its Podgorica base for next year. The airline stationed two aircraft in the Montenegrin capital this summer season and launched seventeen new routes. Mr Tolić did not specify which destinations could be replaced. Wizz Air’s summer-only routes from Podgorica include Bratislava, Catania, Gdansk, Katowice, London Gatwick, Poznan, Rzeszow, Vilnius, Warsaw and Wrocław.
Could Ljubljana be one? What were the load factors?
ReplyDeleteOn my flights were usually around 85-95%. Although I paid 35€ one way.
DeleteLoad factors were 77,4 % in June, 73,8 % in July and 80,2 % in August. Those are joint LF's of WizzAir and Air Montenegro, so we cannot know the exact Wizz LF. I would assume that Wizz achieved around 80 - 85 % in June and July and 85 - 90 % in August.
DeleteThe number of pax from LJU to TGD was 8741 in June, 8619 in July and 9320 in August. Last year there was around 3k pax each month during the summer, so there definitely is extra demand for WizzAir flights, but maybe they try 3 weekly next summer if 4 weekly didn't perform good enough. But so far four weekly is still scheduled.
they will keep 4pw cuz they want to squeeze Air Montenegro out of it...
DeleteWith AirMontenegro flying to Zagreb now, I don't see them staying in Ljubljana.
Deletelooking at the slov. data i noticed that SKP had more pax in July and August than both TGD routes combined
DeleteSolely judging by the prices there are other routes that are performing worse than Ljubljana. Catania for example, only a couple of flights are more expensive than 24 euros in November, Milano as well, only a flight here and there more expensive than 24 euros.
Deletei flew with them several times this year and flights were always 80% full ...
DeleteWarsaw and other Polish routes.
ReplyDeleteare they flown form their TGD base?
DeleteHave you actually checked where they fly to?
Deletewasnt Catania year round?
ReplyDeleteIt is.
Deletebye bye maastricht
ReplyDeleteMaastricht performs very well in the summer at least. I have flown it 5-6 times this summer, the plain was packed every time. It catches a lot of passengers from Luxembourg, believe it or not, which are diaspora passengers from North of Montenegro
DeleteKarlsruhe/Baden-Baden is heavily underperforming
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a direct route to Amsterdam from Podgorica
