Took the JP flight to LJU last saturday. It is a seasonal route with two weekly flights. I was wondering what the concept behind this route is? Is Slovenia heavily marketed as a holiday destination in England? With just two weekly flights operating in the summer period, there will hardly be any business pax (in fact there were not C class passengers on board on my flight) and Manchester is probably not a top tourist destination for Slovenians.
The CR9 was about half full and most passengers seemed to be older folks from England. Indeed deplaning the incoming flight took a little bit longer than expected as a handful of few passengers could hardly walk and had to be lifted off the aircraft.
All in all, it seemed to be a rather odd route to me.
