Dane is probably correct that on the very short segments like throughout the Balkans the cheap ATRs win. A few pax will be lost to MGX b/c they want to fly on a jet but overall the cheapest operator will win on these routes (plus it is important to minimize costs for connecting flights). On the other hand, there are many destinations like Warsaw, Kiev, Krasnodar, etc. that could well work for JU with a regional jet like an Embraer, Bombarider, SSJ, etc. but are out of the range for ATRs and too thin for an A319. It would seem like JU could easily well utilize 2-3 aircraft of this regional jet type.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-16950890753647476822017-04-15T16:27:47.072+02:002017-04-15T16:27:47.072+02:00The tax at SOF is 5.5 eur from both T1 and T2The tax at SOF is 5.5 eur from both T1 and T2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-27704138931107576672017-04-15T00:14:52.213+02:002017-04-15T00:14:52.213+02:00Seriously...

Swiss is no longer a good option as it once was. Some competition would help here. <br />While Sofia is less expensive than BEG, Wizzair's one-way flight on the same day to Luton is EUR 40 cheaper from SOF as compared to BEG (Apr 29th) . Not exactly sure what the taxes in SOF are, but given BEG fees , it seems that proper competition brings the price by around EUR 20+ on a one-way flight, or around 20+ %. <br /><br />Passengers at BEG are not benefiting from increased capacity and , as a result, competition. <br /><br />Ryan could introduce 2 flights per week to Stansted. Alternatively, they could open some route from BEG, where passengers will soon be able to benefit from connecting flights , which are being tested.

One is going to PRG and that one is also utilize, but other three's which are going to LJU,ZAG and VIE are grounded mostly time. Off course if they utilized this old three ATRs to maximum then they will leave fleet very soon, but when they decide to lease new ones they could utilize them much more and they will have more revenue. <br />They could have two mini waves in the morning:<br />1A : 6:45 - 9:15<br />1B : 9:45- 12:15<br /><br />I beat they will change ATR's with Q400 as they could be used for longer destination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-4617355044990429192017-04-14T21:26:41.357+02:002017-04-14T21:26:41.357+02:00You obviously missed some of the earlier posts ......You obviously missed some of the earlier posts ...

First you said that ATR is not the reliable plane in the bad weather. Let's take care of that first. I tried to give you an easy way out with First Air example. They operate ATR out of Iqaluit, where Airbus brough A380 and A350 for cold weather testing. If you have a problem with that, why don't you drop them a message with your advice on ATR reliability and see what they respond with?<br /><br />Instead of accepting defeat for bad weather nonsense, you are now cowardly switching topic to 'ATR design prone to stall'. Why don't you try suing ATR or at least sending a letter to EASA and FAA to prevent ATR from flying, since you have all the Google facts? Let me know how it goes.
