Jat Airways will launch its 2009/10 winter schedule on October 25 with 11 aircraft – 7 Boeing B737-300s, 3 ATR72s and 1 Boeing B737-200. The rest of the airline’s aircraft have either been leased or stored at Belgrade Airport. The Boeing B737-200 will not be scheduled on any service and will be used only in case there are technical problems with other aircraft. Keep in mind that this is a preliminary schedule and as such is subject to change. Any changes will be brought to your attention by visiting the blog.
Jat will be reducing most of its European services by a few frequencies. Flights to Thessaloniki, Stockholm, Rome, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Banja Luka, Athens, Amsterdam and Ljubljana will see a 1 weekly frequency deduction, with the exception of Zurich which will see a 2 weekly service deduction. On the contrary, the services to Brussels, Tivat and Larnaca will increase by one weekly flight. Frequencies to Zurich and London will be increased between December 19 and January 9. There are practically no aircraft changes during the winter.
Jat will only be suspending its seasonal services to Pula, Ohrid and Gothenburg. However, flights to Gothenburg will operate between December 19 and January 9, once per week. The airline is not introducing any new destinations this winter and will suspend its 2 weekly Niš - Zurich service.

Would be nice for the complete JAT fleet to be airworthy to fly, offering a couple more destinations. Would love to see JAT back in the ME and to have the flights come into BEG to connect onto flights within Europe, mainly Amam, Beirut, Damascus and Tehran.
ReplyDelete...you forgot Baghdad :)
ReplyDeleteBaghdad could work. Serbian (Yugoslav) companies did work in Iraq (Energoprojekt for example), and Zastava is selling arms to the Iraqi army...plus offering competive fares for BGW via BEG to Europe could entice more traffic. OS flies to Erbil instead, and IA offers their flight to ARN from Erbil rather than BGW. Maybe Erbil is more safer? Good scheduling, campaigning and product could make the route work.
ReplyDeleteI do not see JAT having lot of possibilties in ME market. While JAT was continuously degraded in the last 15 years, ME airlines have advanced/expanded and modernised, look at the Jordanian for example, brand new planes, good service, far better than JAT at the moment
