The starting point of this connection has been set for October 31, 2023, as confirmed by the portal Ex Yu Aviation News. The British airline plans three weekly flights, which are to be operated on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Ermal Muji August 4, 2023 15:09

Since the passenger numbers at Vienna Airport speak for themselves, the expectations of the airport in question have been raised accordingly. The airport assumes that over 2023 million passengers can be handled by Vienna Airport in 20. With the passenger numbers and the general flight operations figures, Vienna Airport can set its expectations for 2023 higher. Due to the rapid development, the airport expects a passenger volume of 28,5 million passengers. By comparison, the airport has recorded the 26 million passenger mark in recent years, but this could be exceeded this year. The Vienna Airport Group, which includes Vienna Airport, Malta Airport and Kosice Airport, is expected to be able to expect 36,5 million passengers. The Austrian central airport Vienna is also expected to improve in terms of sales, EBITDA and period result: sales of around 830 million euros are expected, while EBITDA is expected to be 325 million euros. The result for the period is expected to amount to 150 million euros this year.

It is currently completely unclear whether the route could be continued in the 2024 summer flight schedule if there is sufficient demand.

Spanish government takes action against airline surcharges

Jan Gruber August 4, 2023 13:20

The Spanish Ministry of Consumer Protection is taking action against several airlines that charge for carrying hand luggage in the IATA standard format. Those affected include Volotea, Easyjet, Vueling and Ryanair. According to the authority, the fact that extra fees are charged if you want to have minors or physically disabled passengers sitting next to you is also being examined. The refusal to accept cash at airport counters is also to be examined. The ministry is of the opinion that the carriers are advertising low prices, but are excluding services that can be expected to be included and asking for extra payment. They see this as a possible violation of the Spanish consumer protection law. Fines of at least 10.000 euros and a maximum of 1.000.000 euros can be imposed in each case.

Berlin: Recovery in passenger numbers is still sluggish

Amely Mizzi August 4, 2023 13:10

Berlin Brandenburg Airport had around 2023 million passengers in July 2,2. In direct comparison with the same month last year, there was a slight increase, but it is still significantly below the figure that Tegel and Schönefeld had together in July 2019. At that time, 3,4 million travelers used the two airports. The airport company expects passenger numbers to increase slightly by the end of the summer holidays in the capital region on August 27th. A total of around 13 million passengers are expected at BER between July 27th and August 3,5th. During the holiday season, a total of 66 airlines fly from BER to 141 destinations in 47 countries. A total of 16.127 aircraft took off and landed at BER last July, around 1.000 more than in the same month last year. In July 2019, around 25.684 flight movements were counted in the capital region. A total of around 2.743 tonnes of air freight were loaded at BER last month, around 400 tonnes more than in July 2022 and around 460 tonnes less than in July 2019.

Thanks to high demand and expensive tickets: AUA is making a profit and wants to grow again

Jan Gruber August 4, 2023 13:05

Shortly after the start of the Corona pandemic, the management of Austrian Airlines at the time assumed that demand would be permanently lower. They decided to reduce the fleet. For example, they got rid of the de Havilland Dash 8-400 and Airbus A319 models and halved the number of Boeing 767s on long-haul routes. Now AUA can announce black half-year figures again. At first glance, it sounds natural that Austrian Airlines would have been extremely successful in the first six months. However, one must not forget that in direct comparison with 2019, the average flight ticket prices have risen sharply with inclusive services noticeably reduced - especially on short and medium-haul routes. On those routes where there is no competitor, it became particularly expensive. But if you have Ryanair or Wizzair as your "playmates", for example, AUA also offers cheaper ticket prices. It is also noteworthy that shortly after the resumption of flight operations in June 2020, AUA publicly supported the minimum prices for airline tickets advocated by Transport Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) but not yet implemented. Gewessler's "demand" that "flying must become more expensive" was implemented and ultimately the higher average revenues contributed to Austrian Airlines being able to return to the black in the first half of 2023. But the environment has absolutely nothing to gain from this, because the effect hoped for by the Greens, that fewer people would fly with expensive ticket prices and, as a result, fewer planes would be in the air, simply did not occur. Despite high costs in everyday life:

More than half of our fleet has already been converted to the state-of-the-art neo technology. The unprecedented economic efficiency and remarkably low carbon footprint of the A2neo aircraft underline our commitment to offering our customers affordable and sustainable travel options. We have a long-standing strategic partnership with Airbus and remain committed to this exceptional technology with one of the world's largest order books of more than 321 neo aircraft." Wizz Air operates flights with its own certificates in Hungary, Malta, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. Another branch, to be located in Saudi Arabia, is in preparation. According to the company, the group's fleet currently consists of 350 aircraft from the manufacturer Airbus. "Thanks to József's leadership, Wizz Air has grown steadily and has developed into an impressive airline in the European skies and a great partner for Airbus. The investment in the A185neo model is a solid foundation for Wizz Air's further expansion strategy. We thank József and all Wizz Air employees for their unwavering trust in our

Flughafen Wien AG raises passenger forecast significantly

Amely Mizzi August 4, 2023 11:42

The Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG assumes that there will be more passengers across the group this year than originally forecast. This was announced in a mandatory stock exchange announcement. For the Vienna site, Vienna Airport now expects around 28,5 million passengers (previously 26-27 million) and for the Vienna Airport Group (including Malta and Kosice) around 36,5 million travelers (previously 32-34 million). Management therefore also expects significantly higher sales, as well as a significant increase in EBITDA and profit for the period compared to the guidance of January 19, 2023 (guidance of January 19, 2023: sales around €830 million, EBITDA at least €325 million, profit for the period before minorities over €150 million). The investment volume should be lower than the previous forecast (around €135 million) at around €100 million.
