NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia introduced flights between Belgrade and Porto, its second destination in Portugal after Lisbon, last Friday. The carrier entered the Portuguese market this April and has seen strong demand for flights. The new Porto service will operate twice per week. Air Serbia’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Boško Rupić, said, “For the first time in Air Serbia’s history, we have launched services to Porto. After Lisbon, this is Air Serbia’s second destination in Portugal. Porto and Belgrade are approximately 2.400 kilometres apart, and our Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft fly this distance in a little under three and a half hours. We are certain this will be one of our most popular destinations in Europe and that passengers will enjoy this beautiful city as much as they will enjoy the flight there”. Porto becomes Air Serbia’s 23rd new route launched this year.
@JU. We await more news from this region. Alicante and Tenerife a must!
ReplyDeleteLorto is nice addition for this winter.
Porto*
DeleteTenerife in my opinión next Summer imposible, i thought in this winter was launched so i think we will are waiting for next winter season. Alicante is a top of candidates in Spain together Sevilla and Bilbao,i!am sure at least one of those three wil be launched next Summer
Delete+1
DeleteSevilla and Bilbao would be amazing JU additions. We all saw what happened with BCN and BEG. There are also flights from Zaragoza to Cluj and Bucharest, or Valencia and Alicante to Sofia, so why not add Belgrade? Mallorca and Menorca are all options. Many Spanish airports are just a good option for Nikola Tesla Aerport.
DeletePleaseee make Madrid daily!!!
DeleteMallorca already fly summer 3pw
DeleteSpanish coast still works better than MAD.
DeleteMallorca will be 4 next summer
DeleteWe hardly have a diaspora here. I see it as a 100% tourist route in partnership with tour operators?
ReplyDeleteWhen can we expect the new destinations for 2024? Some here said next month. We are hoping for destinations around Porto. I see there is a demand, why not start Faro?
ReplyDeleteThe smartest move in the entire history of JU after the pandemic was to take the E190/195, even the weak destinations work. So with them I see a lot more potential- MUC, HEL, EVN, TBS, GYD, BEY, MAN, DUB.
DeleteWhat we need is Tenerife.
Deletemore than TFE , Buenos Aires and Sao Paolo are needed....
DeleteHow long would it take to fly to the Canary Islands and Madeira? Why don't tour operators organize something other than Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia? Serbs are traveling more and more, charters to the Maldives, Zanzibar, and the Canary Islands can easily be organized. JU flights to Spain and Portugal prove it - there is a high demand and BEG has been operating for many years below its potential!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same for Skopje and Spain. Btw, the flight would be around 5h.
DeleteSKP is the same case! But things at both airports are going in a good direction. It looks like SKP will get flights to Spain, there's just demand. BEG will most likely get Zanzibar or Thailand in the coming years. At least i think so. Morocco is also a good option for both markets.
DeleteTime for BEG to get long haul charters! There is even a KIV next to Zanzibar! Morocco will 100% work even as a regular line from BEG.
DeleteMorocco won't work as long as there is visa regime for Serbian citizens.
DeleteMorocco can work, visas aren't expensive and are easy to get at Moroccan Embassy in Belgrade
DeleteUnbelievable that Morocco still requires visas for Serbs similar to UK and Ireland....the same applies for Northern Macedonia :(
DeleteNobody wants to deal with Moroccan visas if you could fly to Egypt without this BS.
DeleteAnonymous 13-59 KIV - Zanzibar, must be on 737 MAX? Or A3xxNeo?
DeleteGood idea for xmas and new year holiday!
ReplyDeleteI am happy. I'm glad that all Iberian routes are working!
ReplyDeleteBaku, Cluj, Dublin will be the next routes, besides AirSerbia is going to maximize frequencies rather than intruducing more routes!
ReplyDeleteAny specific information or are you a JU employee? Or you guess like me with MAN above^.
DeleteNo way for DUB.
DeleteFlydubai has a better product on the DUB route
DeleteDUB is Dublin, not Dubai.
DeleteWhat number of new destinations can you expect next summer? 10? 15?
ReplyDeleteSorry but you have read many times here from the CEO that focus will be on frequencies next year and you expect them to launch 15 new routes on top of the 40+ they launched since last year? No. They will add up to five routes and significantly grow frequencies on other routes.
DeleteMarek said around 10
DeleteWhere did he say that?
DeleteOn his latest interview to eurones Serbia
DeleteFirst flight had 96 and 39 passengers on the A319.
ReplyDeleteNot bad for November.
39, not bad at all
DeleteYes on the inaugural flight when there are no passengers for tour groups to bring back. Plus I don't trust any numbers posted by any anonymous.
DeleteThen why are you commenting?
DeleteCanary Islands please. Or any other warm weather destination where I can sunbathe in the middle of winter. And let's get some more southern destinations from INI.
ReplyDeleteSince you really want to know, I am in NY but I spend my winter and summer in Serbia. I have no need to go to the Caribbean unless its winter and I have Florida if I really need sun and fun while I am in the US. Some of the Caribbean I have seen, and have no intention of returning.
DeleteThe new uniforms are way better.
ReplyDeleteI still don't like them, quite old-fashioned.
DeleteWhat about London Gatwick? It might work if they want to grow in London area with such slot restrictions at Heathrow. Return to Geneva might also be a possibility now that JU operates Embraers. Easyjet is getting pricey on the route.
ReplyDeleteGatwick and Faro are also Vinci airports. Azores and Madeira too, but that's a bit too far and also well covered from both LIS and OPO. But who knows.
ReplyDeletePlease remember that for Madeira airport pilots must have a special training designed specifically for this airport, due to winds, runway buildout and weird approach.
DeleteI do not think that JU will pay for this special training for two sets of pilots just to fly 2PW to Madeira
Also Madeira is VERY far away from Belgrade. Not a good use of an aircraft for an airline which has fleet issues. Never gonna happen
