Air Serbia boosts Ljubljana, Vienna and Zagreb in winter

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia is continuing to increase its operations for the upcoming winter season, which begins on October 29, with the carrier to boost frequencies on flights from Belgrade to Ljubljana, Vienna and Zagreb. Services to the Slovenian capital will operate nineteen weekly during the winter, up from fourteen weekly both last winter and this summer. There will be three daily flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Monday morning departures will see the Embraer jet deployed instead of the usual ATR72 turboprop aircraft. The carrier will also maintain nineteen weekly rotations to Vienna, up from fourteen weekly last winter and eighteen weekly operated this summer. There will be three daily flights on the route on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. The carrier will also increase capacity on the Vienna service with select flights during the week operated by Embraer and A320-family aircraft instead of the usual ATR72. Zagreb will be increased from eleven weekly last winter and fourteen weekly this summer to seventeen weekly this winter season, with three daily flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

    And they are reducing Zagreb to 9x weekly, with the prices (one way) starting at only 31€
    Compared to Ljubljana's 64€ and 19x weekly rotations this is a huge loss for Zagreb

      I guess it's because of aggressive Wizz Air expansion there.

      @17.41 that's more flights than last winter. You can't compare summer to winter. In the article they compare both last winter and this summer because the number of flights is increased compared to the summer which is not very common in aviation.

      Wizz Air, which will base its sixth aircraft in the Macedonian capital this December, introduce two new routes - Ljubljana and Luxembourg - and boost frequencies on nine existing services.

      But as I said above, the number of Air Serbia flights to Skopje is increased compared to last winter. Not to mention the timetable is not fianlized yet.

      That's the biggest lie ever (and it's not ann 14:15 fault) the airport is open upon request, and since DHL is landing at 2am every Monday, and charters are landing at 4, the price of the airport staying open isn't big

    Well at least the Slovenian community here can be happy. Not only are they getting back their noon flight but they also get the Embraer. This is definitely a good move by JU. Now they can connect to anything and everything. Flights to the US have very good connections as well.

    With 19 weekly flights is LJU-BEG one of the busiest over there in terms of weekly flights?

      Don't forget INI-LJU with 2 weekly so 3 daily flights in total. Only LH Cartel has more flights I believe.

      Indeed, JU will have a very good presence. I think only LJU-FRA will have more weekly departures than BEG?

    JU is selling LJU-BEG-LIS for €180 and on the way back LJU-BEG is with E90!

    I think JU results in LJU will be even better.

      To be fair their new ATRs are as comfortable as their E95/A320s, the difference really is just if you are flying DATs ATR72-500

      Should keep in mind that the Embraer is only scheduled on one return flight per week. The rest are ATRs

    7. Anonymous14:45

      Doesn't matter if it's just once per week. It's a move in the right direction. JU has a really strong night wave on Sunday so they obviously expect a lot of passengers to continue to LJU.

    Air Serbia fight against Wizz for FCO and BCN is clearly more important.

      Well both FCO and BCN are massive markets and both were underserved by JU. I mean 4 weekly flights in winter and even daily in summer are definitely not enough when you take into consideration how big O&D demand is on top of all the potential transfer passengers.

      Of course they are mostly transfers. Zagreb to Belgrade is 3 to 4 hours by car. OU offers direct flights to rediculouslly and shamefully small number of destinations, and those offered through the Cartel, which are much more, are painfully expensive. On the other hand, JU offers wide range of destinations on usually very acceptable prices.
