Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, travel between Moscow and Belgrade is in high demand, primarily due to Russian tourists visiting the Serbian countryside in organised tour groups. Demand is also being generated by transfer passengers. Both Serbian and Russian citizens are able to travel between each other’s countries without restrictions with a negative Covid-19 PCR test, however, they must fly on the nonstop Belgrade - Moscow service to avoid quarantine upon entering Russia. Russia’s S7 Airlines recently scheduled its flights from Moscow to Belgrade starting next month.
Идемоооооо
ReplyDeleteJU sending a big bird to Moscow? WoW
ReplyDeletePlus on Sunday morning they are sending A320!
DeleteA beautiful bird, looking especially nice in Aeroflot colours. Congratulations Belgrade.
DeleteБраво Аэрофлот...само цене мало прилагодите људима!
ReplyDeleteЦене су нажалост надуване јер је број летова ограничен. Пре короне СУ је има 21 лет, ЈУ 10, Ред Вингз 4 што изађе на 35 недељних а сада смо на 14. Уз све то, нису поново успостављени летови за Краснодар те и тај број људи који је лете између два града (30% укупних путника) сада мора преко Москве. Мора се мало растеретити број ограничења.
DeleteDokle god postoji ograničenje na broj frekvencija, cene će biti ludačke. Tek kada dozvole 3-4 leta dnevnocene će krenuti da se smiruju
DeleteЈа се искрено надам да ће то бити ускоро!
DeleteDa li neko može da pojasni zašto su uvedena ograničenja, od koga, i da li su opravdana?
DeleteРуси су увели ограничења наводно због короне. Доста су контрадикторни. Кажу да се само може летети за Москву а онда дозволе ТКу да лети за Ростов, Уфу, Петровград...
DeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain me the reciprocity between JU and Aeroflot on this route. Russians seems to be sending more capacity on this route then JU. And I'm not talking about other Russian carriers flying into BEG.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Capacity is not restricted, frequencies are. JU has already upgraded all flights to A320 and now they started sending the A332.
DeleteSU also has a flight less than JU so please be mindful of that.
Great, well done Serbia
ReplyDeleteWow... love that plane
ReplyDelete.. primarily due to Russian tourists visiting the Serbian countryside in organised tour groups. ..
ReplyDeleteWow, well done for Serbia tourism: niche activity (countryside) is becoming main stream, I was not expecting that!
I won't even say "Niche" anymore.
ReplyDeleteBefore this Covid there was a real buzz around traveling to Serbia and not just Belgrade.
I'm from Manchester and know lots of people from the NW of England who've travelled to the likes of Zlatibor etc.
Beautiful countryside, nice people and great food. Plenty going for Serbia on the tourist front, so not really surprised the Russians are coming.
Nis is/was becoming a favourite city break destination as well for English people with a sense of adventure, it's something different to the usual Berlin, Paris etc...And why not, great city to visit, just wish we had direct flights from the NW of England.
Thompson used to have charters to INI years ago on the B752.
DeleteSkiers to Kopaonik. Jat used to fly Niš - London back around 1990.
DeleteKVO will have a lot of winter charter potential once the airport opens for larger aircraft.
DeleteHave we ever had a 400-seater in Belgrade?
ReplyDeleteOf course.
DeleteOK, but on what occasion?
DeleteQantas operated scheduled flights to Belgrade with B747 for years.
DeleteYupp, I know that, but also thought they used a more comfy configuration of some 350 seats on such an exhausting journey.
DeleteSpiffing news!! Congratulations Belgrade! Now we see why Vinci paid so much for the airport.
DeleteSvaka čast. Mislim da bi Turkish airlines trebao po mom mišljenju tokom ljeta uvesti A333 ili B777 u Beograd, Sarajevo i Zagreb, zbog velike potražnje, a da umjesto FlyDubaia leti Emirates u ova tri grada
ReplyDeleteZagreb and Sarajevo 777, why?
DeleteПа Емирати су већ пробали да лете са Б777 за један од та три града. Сви знамо како се та прича завршила.
DeleteFunny SU is filling up A321, A333 now announcing the sending of B777 while Ju has today the A319 on the flight to Moscow.
ReplyDeleteSU is not sending huge planes every day of the week.
DeleteJU also sends A330-200.
The point of sale for this tours is Russia and Aeroflot also transports ex-Russia bound pax.
SU 2094 tomorrow is removed from the system because it is already sold out.
ReplyDeleteIt's vacation time in Russia too.
