AUG 26, 2004 (newstodate): Low-cost competition has breathed added life into air travel and provided strong impetus to the national carrier and Ljubljana Airport.
-Before May, when easyJet entered the market, some people expressed the fear of a negative impact on the traffic of the national carrier. The analyses showed just the opposite. easyJet has not reduced the number of passengers. On the contrary, it has even generated new ones, says Ljubljana Airport in a comment to an analysis of the first months of easyJet operations.
In 2003, the Ljubljana London-route had approximately 44,000 passengers. When easyJet came to Ljubljana Airport, the number of passengers to London increased significantly.
Preliminary results confirm easyJet's forecast of 90,000 passengers on this route per year.
Together with passengers who travel by Adria Airways, the domestic carrier, the route will have around 130,000 passengers by the end of 2004, the analysis says.
-Results suggest a positive impact on the operations of easyJet, Ljubljana Airport, Adria Airways and on Slovenian tourism in general, the airport concludes.
