      “Belgrade is an important route for Qatar Airways, and the partnership with Air Serbia will definitely expand and improve our presence in the market in the near future and hopefully lead to more capacity. At this point we are still considering whether we will increase frequencies to Belgrade”.

    ''JU added its code to Yerevan, Tbilisi and Baku''. This means we won't see Air Serbia in the Caucasian region yet...

      Or quite the opposite - this adds up connectivity options (for sure more expensive) to their own direct service, hopefully in the very near future - so a synergetic move...

      JU codeshare with A3 and fly to ATH. Also with RO and fly to OTP.

      MD14:26 wasn't TAROM the best option for traveling to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan? Why would anyone waste 10 plus hours just to fly from Belgrade to the Caucasus via Doha?

      Well it could be targeting the huge Russian population that now lives in these countries who can't transfer through Bucharest.

      Cannot find on TAROM's website that they fly to the 3 Caucasus countries. And even if they did, it would be logical from JU's perspective to offer code-share options via multiple partner airlines - and then to add to those its own service - so that passengers can find it feasible to buy JU tickets. Btw, at the moment, most probably Turkish, via Istanbul, offers best connections to the Caucasus.

    "subject to obtaining all necessary government approvals and once all conditions are fulfilled, Air Serbia plans to extend its coverage"

    So if getting all the paperwork was not a showstopper for this codeshare announcement, why are we still waiting to hear about the other major codeshare agreement that was announced for the Q4 2022?
