A da otvore bazu u BEG? Da sa njom pokriju balkan i srednju evropu? red je malo da se prosire na Istok.
ReplyDeleteWow! First time they are going head to head with Wizz Air. I wonder if they will operate it with the GVA plane?
ReplyDeleteThey have been many many times head to head with Wizz Air. And they have lost every single time. This is beyond silly.
DeleteAny news on GVA to BEG though?
ReplyDeleteThey are switching it with the GVA flights.
DeleteThey are not switching it. It will be on sale in the next few days.
DeleteWizz Air should respond by i increasing frequencies.
ReplyDeleteWait but an commentator here was telling us constantly that Easy Jet is pulling out of Belgrade. Where is he now?
ReplyDeleteno it was not. It said that they will terminate Geneva-Belgrade route and they will.
DeleteNo he said they would pull out of Serbia. Good to see he has lawyers here though.
DeleteInteresting addition. I am still hoping they will add Berlin as well.
ReplyDeletewhat about the GVA service? I don't understand why they will terminate a service that they have no competition and introduce one that they will have direct competition.
ReplyDeleteSo instead of GVA in the far west, they are going for a north-central gateway to Serbia in hope of attracting the massive ZRH-centric traffic, Saint Gallen and neighbouring cantons. In theory it makes sense as the catchment is bigger. In practice, against W6... will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope U2 will keep BSL-BEG-BSL for long time as they are great company and offer very good product
