Jat dumps Pula
After 2 consecutive years of seasonal summer flights, Jat Airways will suspend services to Pula. The flights are to be replaced by the Belgrade – Portorož service which commences on April 15. Despite Croatia becoming a more popular destination with Serbian tourists each year, the airline has decided to remove the coastal Croatian city from its destination network. Instead it has opted for subsidised flights to Slovenia. The airline will focus on increasing its frequencies on regional services such as Skopje which will be served 12 times per week.Services between Belgrade and Pula were resumed in 2008, after 17 years. The flights operated as summer seasonal flights in 2009 as well. There were indications that, due to the success of the service in 2008 and 2009, the flights could be extended all year round. During the 2010 summer season Jat will be operating flights to Trieste (3 times per week), Portorož (2 times), Ljubljana (6 times), Sarajevo (daily), Podgorica (21 times per week), Tivat (31 times), Skopje (12 times) and Ohrid (2 times) within the region.
This was very bad News! I think this is some sort of a game between Jat Airwqays and Croatia Airlines, because Croatia Airlines Suspended flights to Belgrade from Zagreb, and now Jat is giving back with the Pula Flight! Both Airlines should change their Leadership! philswe
ReplyDeleteLets hope JAT and Portoroz will find some cooperation to boost these flights together with the destination. The region around Portoroz/Piran including North-Istria on Croatian side have become a more and more popular tourist place where the quality standards improved very much in recent years. Only the openings of the two Kempinskis in Savudrija and Portoroz have given the place a complete different appearance.
ReplyDeleteIts a shame that JAT is giving up on PUY. I was hoping that this summer the flights will continue with increased frequencies.

I dont think its political. I would think if JAT had flights say to SPU or ZAD then the cancellation of those routes would be more political.
Only a year earlier, Jat's general manager stated that the BEG - PUY service was the company's most profitable route, with an average cabin load factor of 98%

Way to go Jat.
Does this have to do with Pula losing the status of an international airport?
ReplyDeleteBut I think this has to do with JU not having enough planes...
How on Earth PUY is loosing International status, with all those flight coming in summer season? Are flight from teh UK, Germany, etc domestic ones?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is just bad news and I cannot believe that such a positive and good thing couldn't last! So for expected from the Balkans! Nasa posla :-(

to JU520BEGLAX,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I'm not surprised by FRA's perfomance. After all, LH feeds all the North American flights through LJU to southern Balkan. But PRN? GOSH! I just don't understand that place, as if after all those new services, demand remains unlimited.
I do agree, numbers are amazing, especially PRN, I do appreciate the fact the are so many people abroad from Kosovo, bit it seems that they travel on a daily basis ;-) Good for them!
ReplyDeleteAnd W6 services from Zagreb to Dortmund are staring only on Saturday March 13th, they didn't start on 8th as it was announced.
ReplyDeleteDid they say in JAT why they are dumping Pula?
