Competition in between airlines increases, Lufthansa enters in Prishtina Airport

 Competition in between airlines is expected to take place in regard to the German and Italian flight  market where the biggest part of our compatriots is concentrated, a market not quite exploited yet.

Biggest notable newness related to the next year’s summer season, which commences in March, are entry in market, for the very first time, of the biggest German and European airline ‘Lufthansa’, with 4 scheduled flights from the city of Düsseldorf and flights of the Slovenian airline ‘Adria Airways’ expected to start with 5 flights per day to the different German cities.

Increase in flight number is also expected by another giant ‘British Airways’ with 6 direct flights a week to London, ‘Easy Jet’ with minimum of 5 scheduled flights a week and 7 flights in the peak season, and ‘Malev’ expected to double its flights from current 7 to 14 flights during a week, etc.

“We are very satisfied with the interest of new airlines in terms of commencing with flights and increase of the number of frequency by the airlines already present at PIA. Bringing of these airlines to Prishtina and establishing of the loyal competition, through providing of the good conditions and increase of the attractiveness to airlines, was actually our aim that will lead to price reduction of the tickets for passengers. A free market and loyal competition automatically translates in cheaper tickets for passengers”, said Agron Mustafa, Managing Director of the Prishtina International Airport „Adem Jashari“.

PIA “Adem Jashari” is expected to have over 1.3 million passengers this year, which represents highest figure of passengers that has ever passed through this company, but according to the Director Mustafa, even without visa liberalization for citizens of Kosova, real opportunities exists to increase the number of passengers in a very fast time in a minimum of 200 up to 300 thousand passengers.

“We have available survey which clearly indicates that less than 300 thousand citizens of Kosova, from about 400 thousand ones that lives in Germany, flies with aircraft or less than one passenger per capita (per person), expressed so. Meanwhile, situation with Switzerland is contrary one. From about 200 thousand Kosovar’s that lives there, over 350 thousand passengers fly per year from this country. In this segment, we consider that the Germany’s market would bring even more passengers if the market continuous to liberalize further more and ticket price reduces further”, emphasized Director Mustafa. 

Harsh competition is also expected regarding the Italian market.

“Belleair Europe” also with 6 times a week from Italy (Ancona, Verona, Bergamo, Venetia) to Kosova and vice versa, whilst ‘Eagles Airlines’, from December begins with 6 flights per week from Italy (Venetia, Bergamo and Rome) to Kosova and vice versa.

Since mid December, ‘Belleair Europe’ plans to commence with 10 flights per week and to other destinations in Germany and Belgium.
