    There were days in July where it felt like BEG was significantly busier than EVER. The good news is that the airport will be expanded pretty soon. Now the airport needs to make a domestic arrivals section.

      Closure of A1 to A4 create true chaos. Even BEG didn't expect demand to recover so fast! Hopefully they open the new areas soon so that we can breathe when traveling. Right now the whole airport is a construction zone.

    I see Air France sent A321 today, second time in two weeks. Nice.

      My dear, beloved Anonymous friend. What I meant is that there is still time and those flights might be reduced. Let's please not forget that AF initially planned for BEG to be operated by E90 twice a week while today in August we have 5 weekly on A319/320 and the A321 occasionally sent. Let's be mindful of the fact that changes to their flights are still possible.

      Winter demand is what defines a good major airport. To fill planes in winter it is not up to the airline or up to the airport. It is up to development and openness for business.
      And Serbia is one of few remaining countries not even in WTO...

      I guess you are right. Belgrade has shown how fantastic it is since Wizz is bringing the third plane right in the middle of the winter season. Or do you think Wizz didn't know about WTO so they went ahead?

      Its Air Frances own fault.
      They could fly daily to Belgrade, they have the right aircraft for that route (Embraerjet 190/170).

      They don't feel the need to probably since they have JU which flies more than daily with the A319. I think they have an agreement and then when spring/summer comes they will be back just in time when demand increases.

      If they dont feel the need then why do they fly to Belgrade at all?
      With daily and yearround flights they would also be more profitable.
      No serious airline likes to loose money.

      Because they cooperate with JU and the market has not recovered to pre-covid period for them to fly in winter as well. Then again who knows, if things keep on improving like this then we might see them stick around.

    One thing I find very interesting is how bad Wizz Air's on time performance is in BEG! Every day at least one of their two planes starts the day with a slight delay that gets extended with each rotation.
    Seems like this morning's NYO will get that honor since it will land there after the scheduled arrival time.

      It's like that everywhere, they have a serious cabin crew shortage.
