✈ Wizz Air to discuss potential base at Sarajevo Airport

Next week, Wizz Air will hold talks with Sarajevo Airport about the possibility of reopening a base at the airport. The airline plans to base one Airbus A320 aircraft at the airport, with additional details expected to be announced soon.

In the meantime, Wizz Air is expanding its Abu Dhabi-Sarajevo route. Initially, the airline had scheduled 3 to 5 weekly flights between the two cities. However, due to strong demand, Wizz Air is adding 88 additional round-trip flights, increasing seat capacity by 21.032. From April to October, the airline will operate 332 flights on the route, offering a total of 79.348 seats.

With the expansion of flights from Abu Dhabi, Wizz Air has climbed to the fourth position in terms of seat capacity at Sarajevo Airport, with a total of 150.570 seats across three routes: Abu Dhabi, London-Luton, and Rome.

✈easyJet je zainteresovan da uspostavi bazu u Sarajevu!

 


Nakon što sam napravio analizu o dolasku Ryanair-a u Sarajevo, iz meni pouzdanih izvora sam dobio informaciju da je pored Ryanair-a i easyJet zainteresovan za uspostavljanje baze na aerodromu Sarajevo. Pošto sam analizirao Ryanair, sada ću to isto uraditi i za easyJet.

easyJet  je britanski niskotarifni avioprijevoznik s glavnom bazom na londonskom aerodromu Luton. Kompaniju je osnovao  Stelios Haji-Ioannou 1995. godine, po ugledu na američki Southwest Airlines. Kompanija posluje u sklopu grupe easyGroup koja je uspostavila europski odjel kompanije nakon izlaska Velike Britanije iz EU . Kompanija posjeduje europski Air Operators Certificate (AOC) sa sjedistem u Beču. Kompanija posjeduje i švicarski Air Operators Certificate (AOC).

easyJet je jedna od najvecih europskih avio kompanija, koja u floti ima 276 aviona. Kompanija u floti ima slijedeće avione:

Airbus 319 (94 aviona) – kapacitet 150 sjedišta

Airbus 320 (167 aviona) – kapacitet 186 sjedišta

Airbus 321 (15 aviona) – kapacitet 235 sjedišta

Kompanija trenutno ima narudžbu za 161 aviona (Airbus 320neo, 128 aviona i Airbus 321neo, 33 aviona)

easyJet većinu svojih operacija obavlja u zapadnom dijelu Europe, a ako se dogodi da avio kompanija uspostavi bazu u Sarajevu, to će biti njihova prva baza izvan Europske Unije i Švicarske.

Lista aerodroma sa najvećim brojem letova easyJet-a:

easyJet ima idealnu flotu za bazu u Sarajevu, Airbus 319 je avion manjeg kapaciteta i može se koristiti na destinacijama koje su u razvoju ili tokom zime kada su putovanja znatno manja. Tokom ljetnih mjeseci Airbus 320 je idealan jer nudi veci  broj sjedišta.Po mom mišljenju easyJet bi tokom ljetnih mjeseci u početku imao dva bazna aviona u Sarajevu, tipa Airbus 319, dok bi tokom zimskih mjeseci kompanija u Sarajevu imala jedan bazni avion, tipa Airbus 319. Nakon prve sezone kompanija bi imala stacionirana dva aviona tokom cijele godine. Kao i u slučaju Ryanair-a i easyJet bi počeo sa letovima sa početkom aprila 2023. godine. Prednost easyJet-a u odnosu na Ryanair je u tome što easyJet većinu svojih letova obavlja sa glavnih europskih aerodroma, ali samim tim i cijene karata bi bile veće u odnosu na Ryanair.

Sa ovim redom letenja kompanija bi imala 40 sedmičnih letova, u prosjeku 6 dnevni polazaka svakog dana. Sa ovim brojem polazaka kompanija bi imala na raspolaganju 12.000 sjedišta svake sedmice ili 1.714 raspoloživih sjedišta na dnevnoj bazi. Godišnji broj raspoloživih sjedišta sa gore navedenim redom letenja bi bio oko 624.000 sjedišta, sa prosječna popunjenost kabine od oko 85%, znači da bi aerodrom Sarajevo dobio oko 530.000 putnika na godišnjem nivou.

✈Dolazi li Ryanair u Sarajevo?

 

Aerodrom Sarajevo je raspisao javni poziv avio kompanijama za uspostavljanje baze na aerodromu, s obzirom da će se popusti davati kopanijama po broju prevezenih putnika, možemo sa sigurnošću reći da se radi o niskobudžetnim avio prijevoznicima. S obzirom da je Wizz Air odlučio da se povuče sa aerodroma Sarajevo, iako je ove godine prevezao oko 400.000 putnika za i iz Sarajeva, nije upitno da je potencijal aerodroma veliki za niskobudžetne avio  kompanije, ali Wizz Air je zbog sopstvenih financijskih problema odlučio da se preusmjeri na letove u svojoj bazi u Tuzli (Wizz Air je tokom ove godine zatvorio 9 od ukupno 43 baze širom Europe).

Mogućnost dolaska Ryanair-a je izuzetno velika s obzirom da je ta avio kompanija najveća u Europi i posjeduje sve mogućnosti u ovom momentu da otvori bazu na sarajevskom aerodromu. Mnoge avio kompanije i dalje imaju izuzetne financijske probleme izazvane pandemijom ali Ryanair je u jako povoljnoj financijskoj poziciji i posjeduje sve mogućnosti daljnjeg širenja. S obzirom da je Ryanair već prisutan u Bosni i Hercegovini sa letovima u Banjaluci i od početka novembra i sa letovima ka Tuzli, kompanija već ima uvid u naše tržište. Interesantna je činjenica da je Ryanair već objavio red letenja i pustio u prodaju karte za ljetni red letenja 2023. godine, ali letovi za Banjluku su nedostupni, dok su letovi za Tuzlu u prodaji. Da li je ovo neka naznaka da je već odluka tu, da će Ryanair početi sa letovima iz Sarajeva!?

Ryanair je otvaranjem baze u Zagrebu napravio sam sebi konkurenciju  na letovima iz Banjaluke, zbog blizine ova dva grada i povezanosti Zagreba i Banjaluke auto putem. S otvaranjem Ryanairove baze u Zagrebu Wizz Air je dobio šansu za širenje u Banjaluci, a hoće li je iskoristiti to ćemo tek vidjeti.

Po mojoj procjeni jako je izvjesno da će Ryanair od aprila početi sa letovima iz Sarajeva i s obzirom da Ryanair ima puno veću mrežu letova po Europi, prednost Ryanair-a za aerodrom Sarajevo je puno veća od Wizzair-a. Ukoliko se ostvari moja procjena, Ryanair bi u početku uspostavio bazu sa dva aviona (Boeing 737-800), ovaj avion ima kapacitiet od 189 sjedišta. Kompanija bi širila svoje prisustvo na aerodromu sa dodatkom po jednog aviona svake godine. Moje procjene su da postoji tržište da kompanija ima bazu od 4 aviona u narednih 5 godina i dostigne brojku od million putnika na godišnjem nivou.

Lista destinacija koje bi bile uspostostavljene u početku sa dva aviona (April 2023 godine):

Sa ovim redom letenja kompanija bih imala 40 sedmičnih letova, u prosjeku 6 dnevni polazaka svakog dana. Sa ovim brojem polazaka kompanija bih imala na raspolaganju 15.120 sjedišta svake sedmice ili 2.160 raspoloživih sjedišta na dnevnoj bazi. Godišnji broj raspoloživih sjedišta sa gore navedenim redom letenja bi bio oko 700.000 sjedišta. Uzimajući u obzir da Ryaniar-ova prosječna popunjenost kabine je oko 90%, znači da bi aerodrom Sarajevo dobio oko 630.000 putnika na godišnjem nivou.

Destinacije koje imaju potencijal sa dolaskom trećeg aviona (Ljeto 2024 godine):

Budapest Airport (BUD),  Dublin Airport (DUB), Krakow Airport (KRK), Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD), Naples  Airport (NAP), Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI)

✈ Wizz Air opens Sarajevo Airport base!

Wizz Air, Europe's fastest growing airline, opened its base in Sarajevo today. At the ceremony held at the Sarajevo International Airport, the news about the establishment of another route was announced. Wizz Air has added Stockholm to its list of cities with which it will connect Sarajevo. Seats on the route can already be booked on wizzair.com or on the airline's mobile app from as low as 58.99 BAM/29.99 EUR*.

Thanks to an allocation on modern Airbus A320 aircraft, Wizz Air now offers 9 routes to 7 countries from Sarajevo. From May 2021 the operations from Sarajevo will be established to: Brussels Charleroi, Copenhagen, Dortmund, Eindhoven, Gothenburg, Memmingen, Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (Euroairport), Paris Beauvais and from July 16 to Stockholm (Skavsta Airport).

Passengers travelling from and to Sarajevo will benefit from Wizz Air’s low fares and latest generation aircraft for a comfortable and safe journey. The base establishment in Sarajevo creates new jobs with the airline and in associated industries.

Wizz Air is an investment grade credit rated airline, with a fleet of an average age of 5.4 years comprising of the currently available most efficient and sustainable Airbus A320 and Airbus A320neo family single aisle aircraft. Wizz Air’s carbon-dioxide emissions were the lowest among European airlines in FY2019 (57.2 gr/km/passenger). Wizz Air has the largest order book of 268 aircraft of the state-of-the-art Airbus A320neo family which will enable the airline to further reduce its environmental footprint by 30% for every passenger until 2030.

Wizz Air ensures that its customers can book with confidence. For ultimate peace of mind during this time, passengers can book tickets with the airline’s travel insurance package which includes Covid-19 cover* and WIZZ Flex. With WIZZ Flex, passengers can cancel their flight up to three hours before departure without any fee and receive 100% of the fare immediately reimbursed in airline credit. In addition to Wizz Air’s flexible booking and insurance policies, customers can also use the airline’s interactive travel planning map, to check operating routes and relevant travel rules in their destination country. The colour-coded map is updated daily and takes users to a country-specific travel information page which includes relevant links to local government websites, useful travel pages and any pre-departure mandatory forms that need to be filled out. Wizz Air has also introduced a new era of sanitized travel across its network, with enhanced hygiene measures to ensure the health and safety of passengers and crew.

Speaking at the press conference in Sarajevo, Andras Sebok, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Wizz Air said: “Today we are delighted to celebrate the establishment of a new base in Sarajevo and the opening of new WIZZ services from Sarajevo to 7 European countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland. Remaining committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina we are also announcing today a new route from Sarajevo to Stockholm, starting from July. With this exciting news, we continue to bring new affordable travel opportunities to passengers while ensuring the best possible sanitary conditions with our enhanced protective measures. We believe that such base investment and a launch of these newest routes will further stimulate the local economy, aviation and tourism sectors”.

Alan Bajić, General Manager of Sarajevo International Airport, said: "We expect that the opening of the Wizz Air base will generate a larger volume of traffic (increase in the number of flights and a significant increase in the number of passengers, introduction of new and additional routes), which is extremely important not only for Sarajevo Airport, but also for those whose work and recovery in the coming period largely depends on the recovery of air traffic in our country".

Krisztián Pósa, ambassador of the Republic of Hungary to BiH, said: "The fact that one of the most successful European low-cost airlines with a Hungarian background launches flights from Sarajevo is of great importance because it strengthens ties with Europe and the European Union. It is also very important that it will be a great stimulus for tourism and economic development, not only in Sarajevo but in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina".

Stockholm-Skavsta Airport will be served with two weekly flights beginning July 16th. The airline will compete indirectly with Norwegian Air, as the Norwegian Air is reintroducing its Stockholm Arlanda-Sarajevo flights from June 29th.  

With opening of reservations for Stockholm Skavsta flights, Wizz Air has discontinued sales of tickets for Sarajevo-London Luton.

✈Wizz Air – Sarajevo base analysis

Wizz Air has announced a new base at Sarajevo – its second in Bosnia and Herzegovina after Tuzla. It will start on 20 May and will initially have nine routes, all twice- or three-weekly, for a total of 21-weekly. The routes focus on Bosnian VFR, especially those to Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia.

None of Wizz Air’s new routes will have direct competition, and only two will have indirect competition from Sarajevo.  Most will come from itself at Tuzla, raising the question of whether any consolidation will happen.

In 2019, round-trip point-to-point demand – before stimulation in most cases – was approximately as follows, based on booking data from OAG Traffic Analyzer:

  • London: 19,000
  • Amsterdam: 16,000
  • Munich: 15,000
  • Copenhagen: 14,000
  • Paris: 14,000
  • Brussels: 12,000
  • Gothenburg: 7,000
  • Düsseldorf and Cologne: 9,000 (indirect only)
  • Basel: 3,000 (rising to over 30,000 with Zurich, ~92km away, is included; Zurich ended in 2019)

The above figures exclude leakage to Tuzla (~110km away) and demand that goes by coach. Coach demand was always big business from the country

Wizz Air’s new Sarajevo base will initially have one aircraft which will operate six sectors each day from 06:10 until 23:00. Wizz Air also ensures maximum aircraft utilization, with very high aircraft usage. On the average Sarajevo based aircraft is flying 13,5 hours per day (13,5 hours is only the air time, when aircraft is in the flight, does not include taxing and other airport operations

Multiple markets have been served from Sarajevo in the past decade:

  • Amsterdam by BH Airlines until 2012
  • Charleroi by TUI Belgium in 2017
  • Copenhagen by BH Airlines, Norwegian, and SAS. Two carriers were on it in most years and it ended in 2019
  • Gothenburg by BH Airlines until 2011 and then Norwegian in 2019
  • London-Luton by FlyBosnia in 2019 and 2020
  • Zurich by BH Airlines until 2013 and then Swiss between 2015 and 2019

Belgium, France, and the UK will once again be connected with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina will benefit on many levels by having direct air link with London, Paris and Brussels.

Wizz Air previously served London-Luton from Tuzla.  It ended in 2017 and had an estimated SLF of 74%, based on 20,159 passengers and 27,360 seats. The traffic shows how well markets can be stimulated, with London demand from Sarajevo and Tuzla exceeding 38,000 in 2017 – almost double the year before. Of course, this does not mean that SLF, fares, and sector revenue will always be sufficient, so the need for corrective measures.


Sarajevo Airport incentive for airline base

Sarajevo International Airport incentive requirement for airlines to open base at the airport (the tender was opened on October 08. 2020, and closed 30 days latter).

  • In the first stage, the base is set up for two aircraft, with the option of increasing number of aircraft, as available capacities increase at Sarajevo International Airport or when other conditions are fulfilled.
  • The aircraft types must have the capacity of 150 passengers or more
  • The base of the airline carrier is set up for the period from 2021 until 2023.

Wizz Air has opened its base at Sarajevo with one Airbus 320 with nine new routes from Sarajevo, even though requirement for winning the tender was two aircraft. Wizz Air was the only company applying for the incentive, giving it stronger negotiation position. In the first year of the airlines base operations at Sarajevo Airport the airline will strengthen its position paving the road for summer of 2022, when the aviation sector is expecting full rebound from the pandemic. In summer timetable of 2022, we can expect second aircraft to be based at Sarajevo Airport with additional destinations introduced. Underserved market from Sarajevo with indirect traffic in 2019 with at least 8000 one-way passengers are : Rome, Barcelona, Milan, Hamburg, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Geneva,  Athens, Skopje, Antalya, Izmir, Ankara, Bucharest, Warsaw, and Tel Aviv.

With second A320 being based in Sarajevo, Wizz Air has high probability to start following routes:

✈Sarajevo aims for two based aircraft; what routes are most likely?


Sarajevo in talks with a “successful European airline” for two based aircraft. It is very keen, so whoever it is – perhaps Wizz Air or Ryanair, or a strong regional operator – would probably get an excellent deal.

Sarajevo’s keenness is from the end of scheduled flights with FlyBosnia, although it was reported in December that the carrier is to lease three A320s – replacing its sole A319.  Given the on-going issues between the carrier and airport, its resurgence will be separate to the tender.

Pre-coronavirus, Tuzla had over 660,000 seats, around half of Sarajevo’s capacity and more than the capital’s LCC seat volume. Source: OAG Schedules Analyser.

Sarajevo’s desire for based aircraft is from the fast growth of Wizz Air at Tuzla, located some 119 kilometers away, and to a much lower degree Ryanair at Banja Luka (241 kilometers).

Sarajevo is very underserved, with over half of its traffic flying indirectly in 2019, booking data shows.

 

Up to 21 routes likely for Sarajevo

These are Sarajevo’s top unserved or very unserved markets in 2019 based on booking data obtained via OAG Traffic Analyser. Note that any specific airport, like CDG or Gatwick, is just a proxy for the whole city.

Assuming two aircraft and a ULCC, which would make the most sense, it could have 14 to 21 routes, each at three- or twice-weekly.

The markets illustrated below are Sarajevo’s largest unserved and those very underserved. They are based on Sarajevo’s traffic only and exclude leakage to Tuzla and Banja Luka and bus traffic.

The markets had a median P2P demand of 8,000 before stimulation in 2019. Frankfurt is top with 21,000 and London second with 19,000, booking data indicates.

Most are about Bosnian VFR, especially Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia.

The Turkish opportunities are very unlikely as the winning carrier won’t have a Bosnian AOC, but they have strong P2P demand before stimulation. For example, 17,000 for Ankara and 13,000 for Izmir.

From Sarajevo, most routes would be within the LCC sweet spot of one to two hours, meaning more sectors per aircraft per day and therefore more passengers and more negotiating ability.
