Capital city airports across the former Yugoslavia have all seen reductions in flights and capacity this month, following a series of network revisions by airlines amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, rising fuel prices and potential supply constraints. Compared to the originally filed schedules and capacity levels for April published by EX-YU Aviation News in late March, the situation has shifted across several airports. The following are the revised figures.
Under the revised schedule, Belgrade Airport is set to offer 897.733 seats on scheduled flights in April, down by 36.995 from the original plan. Despite the reduction, this still represents a 7.6% increase compared to April 2025. Air Serbia remains the largest carrier with 433.502 seats, although this is 20.000 fewer than initially planned, followed by Wizz Air, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines. Zagreb will have 549.720 seats on scheduled services, 10.332 fewer than originally filed. This marks a 2.6% decline year-on-year. Croatia Airlines retains its position as the largest carrier with 203.998 seats, up 5.4% compared to last year, ahead of Ryanair, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines.
Skopje Airport has lost 6.866 seats following network revisions so far this month, bringing its total to 393.355. Despite the reduction, this still represents a strong 32% increase compared to last year. Wizz Air remains the largest carrier, with capacity up 68%, followed by Pegasus Airlines and Turkish Airlines. Pristina Airport is set to offer 390.680 seats, down 7.345 from the original plan, with overall capacity growth currently projected at 2.6%. GP Aviation holds the largest share, followed by Wizz Air, Chair Airlines and Pegasus Airlines. Sarajevo Airport’s seat count now stands at 223.574, a reduction of 6.820 compared to initial plans. This represents a 5.1% decrease on 2025 levels. Ryanair is the largest carrier, followed by Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airlines and Austrian Airlines.
Podgorica Airport will have 205.319 seats on scheduled flights during the month, down 2.505 from initial plans but still up 14.6% compared to last year. Wizz Air is set to become the largest carrier, followed by Ryanair, Air Montenegro and Turkish Airlines. Ljubljana, meanwhile, will offer a total of 191.974 seats on scheduled services, shedding 11.196 seats compared to earlier projections, yet still recording a 17% year-on-year increase.
