ʻO ka hāʻule ʻana o SkyEurope he ʻumi lā i hala aku nei ua manaʻo nui ʻia e Bratislava International Airport, ʻo ia ka home-base o ka mea lawe haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. He mea paʻakikī ke ana i ka hopena no ka holo ʻana o Bratislava akā e like me ka ʻikepili mai ke kahua mokulele, i ka makahiki 2007 ua lawe aku ʻo SkyEurope ma luna o 868,000 mau kaʻa mai Bratislava a i ʻole 43 pakeneka o ka huina holo kaʻa. I kēia makahiki, ua hōʻike ʻo SkyEurope i ka hapakolu o nā mea holo a pau ma ke kahua mokulele Slovakian me 26 mau wahi e lawelawe ʻia mai Bratislava.
Ua loaʻa i ka mokulele nā hana holoʻokoʻa mai Prague a me Vienna. Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo Sky Europe i ka makahiki 2008 he 6 pakeneka wale nō o ka holo ʻana o ka poʻe holo kaʻa ma Vienna Airport a he 9 pākēneka o ka neʻe ʻana o nā kaʻa holoʻokoʻa ma Prague, ʻoi loa ma hope o ka māhele mākeke o ka poʻe holo moku ʻo Austrian Airlines ma Vienna (49 pakeneka) a me CSA ma Prague (43 pakeneka) . ʻO Prague a me Wina naʻe e emi iki ka hopena o SkyEurope ma mua o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Bratislava. Ma waho aʻe o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hana hub ikaika e kā lākou mau moku lawe moku āpau, he nui nā hana haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o nā mokulele ʻelua. Ma Vienna, ʻo ka duo Niki/ Air Berlin ka helu ʻelua me ka nui o ka māhele mākeke o nā poʻe holo kaʻa he 13.7 pakeneka i ka makahiki 2008. Ma Prague, hōʻike nā mea kūʻai haʻahaʻa i kahi kokoke i ka hapaha o nā kaʻa holo kaʻa āpau. Ke kūkulu nei ka mea lawe kālā Hungarian Wizz Air i kona alo. Ua wehe ʻo ia i kahi waihona ma Pepeluali 2009 a lawelawe ʻo ia i ʻeono kūlanakauhale.
Hoʻi i Bratislava, ʻo Ryanair ka lua o ka mokulele nui loa me ka māhele mākeke ma luna o 36 pākēneka i ka makahiki 2007. Ua kūpono paha ke kūlana maikaʻi loa o Bratislava me kona kokoke loa iā Vienna i ka hoʻolālā Ryanair o ka lawelawe ʻana i nā mokulele lua a puni nā metropolises nui o ʻEulopa. . Hāʻawi ʻo Ryanair i nā wahi 14 ma waho o Bratislava a ua hoʻolaha hou i nā wahi hou mai ʻOkakopa me ka hoʻohui ʻana o Bologna, Liverpool a me Roma-Ciampino. Ke aʻo pū nei ʻo Wizz Air i ka hiki o Bratislava. E hoʻomaka ka mokulele i ʻehā mau huakaʻi hoʻomaha ʻole i Roma i Nowemapa. Ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana e pili ana i ka neʻe ʻana o Wizz Air i ke kapikala ʻo Slovakian - ua hoʻolaha ʻia ma Iulai- Ua haʻi ʻo Wizz Air hope-peresidena hoʻokō ʻo John Stephenson "Ua lōʻihi ʻo Slovakia i "ma ka lewa" no ka mea lawe…
He aha ka mea e hiki mai ana? I ka pule i hala aku nei, ua haʻi aku ʻo CEO SkyEurope Nick Manoudakis i ka Czech daily Mladá Fronta Dnes e kūkākūkā ana ʻo ia me nā mea hoʻopukapuka kālā e hoʻomaka i kahi mokulele hou e mālama i ka inoa inoa SkyEurope. Akā inā lanakila ʻo ia, a laila e alo ʻo ia i ka makemake o nā mea kūʻai aku e lele pū me ka mea lawe kaʻa i ko lākou ʻike ʻana i ka pau ʻana o ko lākou hilinaʻi me ka hāʻule ʻana o ka mokulele.
No ka mokulele, ʻaʻole paha ia he manawa ʻino loa no ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana hoʻonui nui e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kikowaena i ka nui o ʻelima miliona mau kaʻa. Pono e hoʻopau ʻia ka pahu i hoʻonui ʻia e 2012 akā e lōʻihi kēia manawa ma mua o ka hiki ʻana o Bratislava i kēia helu. Ua ʻokoʻa loa nā kaʻa o nā poʻe holo mai Ianuali a Iulai o kēia makahiki ʻoiai ʻo Bratislava i hoʻokipa ʻia he 975,000 wale nō. I ka helu ʻia ʻana i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e hoʻokipa paha ka mokulele i ka 20 pakeneka ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe huakaʻi i ka makahiki 2009 ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 2008, ʻo ia ka 1.7 a 1.8 miliona mau ohua. Akā i ka wā lōʻihi, e ulu hou ke kahua mokulele ʻo Bratislava.
ʻO ka liʻiliʻi loa, ʻo ka piʻi wikiwiki ʻana o SkyEurope mai 2004 a 2008 i hōʻoia i ka Bratislava, ma ke ʻano he ʻīpuka mokulele, he mana ikaika. A i ka manawa e ola hou ai ʻo ʻEulopa mai ka pilikia, nui nā mokulele e hoʻomanaʻo i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- It is hard to measure the consequence for Bratislava traffic but according to data from the airport, in 2007 SkyEurope has transported over 868,000 passengers out of Bratislava or 43 percent of total passenger traffic.
- Sky Europe represented in 2008 just 6 percent of total passengers traffic at Vienna Airport and 9 percent of all passengers movements in Prague, far behind passengers' market share of national carriers Austrian Airlines in Vienna (49 percent) and CSA in Prague (43 percent).
- For the airport, it could have not been a worst time as major expansion work to upgrade the terminal to a capacity of five million passengers has started.
