SAS Scandinavian Airlines will introduce seasonal summer flights between Copenhagen and Ljubljana in 2027. The carrier will operate two weekly rotations, on Tuesdays and Fridays, from June 25 to August 6, using Embraer E195 aircraft. Further flight details can be found here.
SAS will compete directly against Norwegian Air Shuttle, which also maintains seasonal flights between the two capitals. During the 2027 summer season, Norwegian will operate two weekly flights on the route, from March 29.
Nice but what is up with SAS flying for just a few weeks most routes in the region.
ReplyDelete1 month and a half is just disgusting
ReplyDeleteWhy is its disgusting? Its not designed for Slovenes making trips rather the other way around, for Scandinavians to come and spend money there.
DeleteWould you rather have zero months per year?
Deletethey are testing the market
DeleteNot really. They fly like this to Sarajevo and Pristina for some time now.
DeleteAnd again another airline chooses LJU over ZAG...
ReplyDeleteIts a twice weekly Embraer flight mate.
DeleteSo?
DeleteHardly that revolutionary in aviation terms.
DeleteBettter then nothing.
DeleteV sili še hudič muhe žre.
DeleteZagreb has daily OU so it's a harder market to enter
DeleteNot really useful or significant for the pax numbers, but hopefully the route proves successful and is increased in the future. At least SAS is giving LJU a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the obsession regarding PAX numbers. Connectivity is what is important, and consumer choice.
DeleteOf course, but this route barely brings anything to connectivity as well.

DeleteWell it brings the possibility of getting to/from Stockholm directly twice a week. Useless for many, but useable by those who are flexible etc.
DeleteJust it's not Stockholm...
DeleteWhat do you guys think, is there a possibility of it being extended into August and September as well, if the sales turn out good?
ReplyDeleteThey tend to do these short seasonal routes. Its basically a glorified charter service for Swedes to go on holiday in Slovenia.
DeleteNo chance of extension. Peak summer season in Scandinavia is June and July.

DeleteWill Norwegian still fly between Ljubljana and Copenhagen?
ReplyDeleteYes, and next years start 29 of March 2 times per week and ended Oktober 29.
DeleteYes, and next year they started March 29 and endedn Oktober 29. All Summer season they Flying,
DeleteNowegian is cooked
Delete^ Why is it cooked? Will SAS' 10 flights really hurt it that much?
DeleteNorwegian is performing quite well during the summer, so I think a bit of extra capacity can be handled. In August they had a LF of 88 %, which is i think the second or third best month in regards to LF since they opened the route.
DeleteSo its Copenhagen? In this case they do not receive subsidies right? So there still has to be 4 new routes announced (3 if one of them was Berlin).
ReplyDeleteAnd both Tui flights as both are eligible, even Brussels as they did not serve that route before.
DeleteBrussels its not, because Brussels Airlines flies on it.
DeleteAre the tender results gonna even be released? It's been way too long now.
DeleteI really hope they won’t be granted subsidy money for this. A month and a half of flights, really? I mean it’s a nice connection for the peak of summer season but thats about it. I hope the results will be known soon, so we can see which of those new connections got granted subsidies.
ReplyDeleteThey are not eligible, because route already exists.
DeleteGreat news. Really great news. 2 weekly is a start and hopefully they will later increase. And LJUs airline portfolio is getting nicer and nicer!
