Is it possible that next year every month will be above 100.000 pax?
ReplyDeleteDefinitively!
DeleteJanuary is questionable, I don't know if there is enough increases for 13k extra pax, but other months are for sure all gonna be > 100k pax.
DeleteJanuary and February will be close to 100k
DeleteAnon 10:33: We hope so.
DeleteLJU is really creeping close to the 1.812 mio pax all time record, hopefully Nov and Dec will have solid growth as well.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm flying to LJU in Dec, so I'm adding +1 ;) and +1 in Jan when flying out ;) ;)
DeleteGood and honest work haha! I also convinced my friends to fly from LJU for our trip this time, so we are adding 12 pax in just over two weeks.
Deletewow
DeleteSome hardcore numbers fan here.
DeleteIt's all about the numbers guys!
DeleteIt really isn't...
Deletemy prediction is they will finish year with record number 1.838.645 pax (last record was in 2018 - 1.818.229 pax). in first 8 days growth was 18% ... next year, we could see them going over 2MIO pax ...
DeleteLast Nov and Dec LJU had 106k and 102k pax respectively. So if LJU has zero growth compared to last Nov and Dec, they finish just shy of all-time record, right?
DeleteWill they improve or will it be a stagnation/slight decline? MUC is gone, RIX is gone, ORY operated flights until 10th of November, DXB flights are pretty much empty,charter program to Egypt is twice as small etc. Although some positive changes happened in BCN, LTN, SAW, TFS, I also noticed that Finland charters will happen, so we won't see a 10% growth like previous months but still, a great year for LJU
DeleteLufthansa actually offers more seats now than it did last winter. Most of their flights to FRA are now operated with A321 and A320. Also Wizz to TGD and Pegasus to SAW hasn't been operating last winter which means around 10k extra seats each month. I wouldn't say DXB flights are empty. Sure, it is decreased, but in August their LF was 76 %.
DeleteI would say 10 % growth is achievable if enough extra seats turn into actual passengers.
76% is actualy great for FZ, I think their average LF is around 67%
DeleteGreat! Next year, the growth is gonna continue. We are getting (at least) five new routes (LTN, EWR, DUS, BER, TFS) and three new airlines (SAS, United, TUI). Exciting times ahead.
ReplyDeleteLTN and TFS already exist?
Delete5 new rutes are: BRU, CPH, EWR, DUS, BER.
DeleteWasn't there some talk about ARN?
ReplyDeleteYeah, there was a lot of talk ond official info about four applicants to the newest tender, but now it's been more than two months. The wonders of slovenian government.
DeleteKrpan got hacked
DeleteWatch SAS launch it for 2 weeks in July 😆
Deleteits coming, just wait #edi
Deletewhich airline?
Deleteanon@20:07 the one with zero strategy
DeleteIt would be nice to see growth per airline in 2026 (either per capacity or pax)
ReplyDeletewhat is most important is that they don't rely on a single airline ...
ReplyDeleteHow is airfrance now only half od KLM PAX numbers? Crazy
ReplyDeleteAFR really treats the market almost like necessary evil. Old planes, with Hop! and substandard service. Connecting via CDG also doesn't give them a good look. Swiss and KLM on the other hand are both doing well in LJU because they treat their customers well.
DeleteTrue
DeleteI am using LJU in jan27 as well +2
ReplyDeleteoh there will be 200k in jan then
DeleteIt would be nice to see management employ more ground handling workers. We lost more than 15 guys this year, so we are cca 40 left.
ReplyDeletewhy is that though?
DeleteProbably difficult physical work. Lots of turnover in ground handling services abroad as well.
DeleteConsidering how few flights LJU has between now and March daily, you should be fine at least until Spring.
DeleteI heard the same on two different occasions chatting with ground staff while I was queued outside to board JU flights to BEG, They lack ground handling workers.
DeleteNotice 2 week ago. They cant handling 2+1 plane on arrival in 1hour .
Delete18k W6 seats with just 2 routes is insane numbers.
ReplyDeleteInsane!!! A321s boast a lot of seats mate.
DeleteYea but it is still big numbers for intra ex yu route from a low cost carrier and its just two routes
DeleteCharge the right low price and people will fly.
DeleteGood to see air Serbia contributing good numbers.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how is Wizz doing on TGD-LJU route?
ReplyDeleteIs more numbers coming from SKP or TGD to LJU?
ReplyDeletePax on SKP route in Avgust was 9865, available seats was 10516. On Podgorica was 9320 pax with both, WIZZ and Air Montenegreo. Available seats was 11620.
DeleteMeaning SKP LF was 94% and TGD was 80% combined (perhaps W6 around 88% and 4O around 72%).
DeleteI was on a Wizz Air flight from LJU to TGD on Sunday, October 25th—the load factor was at least 95%. The situation was similar on the return flight on Thursday, October 29th.
DeleteSame with me in June.
DeleteLJU will overtake TRS this year
ReplyDeleteThe 17th largest city in Italy
DeleteWhat a bitter comment.
DeleteBut a geographically factual one.
DeleteDont forget Lufthansa and Swiss are reducing substantially next summer!:(
