NEWS FLASH
Greek carrier SkyExpress has filed a preliminary schedule for the introduction of a seasonal summer service between Heraklion and Belgrade. Based on the filing, flights will commence on June 16 and run once per week, each Sunday, with the 186-seat A320neo aircraft. The service will be maintained until September 22. Tickets are expected to go on sale soon. It will compete directly against Air Serbia’s four weekly flights between the two cities and Wizz Air's three weekly rotations. Further flight details for SkyExpress’ planned new Belgrade service can be found here. Changes remain possible.
BEG is on fire!
ReplyDeleteBad news for JU and A3 though.
One weekly flight is bad news? lol
DeleteIf anything I’m worried for SkyExpress here as they ONLY have 1 flight. Means at least 1 week stay and no weekend escape or 10 night stay.
DeleteThats absolutely great news love their livery too!
ReplyDeleteAnd after seasonal HER flights they should start ATH-BEG year round flights.
ReplyDelete+10000
Deletethey will.
Delete+1
DeleteFingers crossed.
Nice, GQ is not bad, flew from ATH to Cyclades islands w them a few times. Expect that they won't be able to match Wizz' prices tho, and still for anybody looking for a proper legacy carrier A3 remains an option. So tough competition here
ReplyDeleteThey can fill 1 weekly
Delete@14:57 Yes 1 weekly can be done, especially if they keep the prices competitive (yet to see but hope so). They would do better on ATH-BEG-ATH tho as I feel prices are often high here and they can compete!
DeleteThey always introduce new routes on summer and they start them in October so I feel they're gonna start BEG from next October. Although in their route plans BEG was not included they plan new routes to bigger markets like ARN, CPH, MAD, BCN, MAN but I see them flying year round to BEG.
DeleteThey wil ask anon18.38 what to do
DeleteNo anon20:27 is better I think
DeleteThese flights to Sofia seem to be doing very well, there are flights almost every day. I would like to see such an Athens-Belgrade flight with them, the livery looks great and their planes are brand new. They are slowly adding flights to eastern capitals, most recently adding Warsaw and Budapest.
ReplyDeleteATR72 to Belgrade would be great. An A320neo would be even better. BUD is a charter route, not regular. Greek airlines operates hundreds of Christmas and New Year charters to destinations such as BUD, BTS, PRG, VIE.
DeleteChristmas markets.
DeleteI booked flights from ATH to a few of the Cycladic islands with SkyExpress just yesterday, on an ATR42 no less 😁
ReplyDeleteTheir ATRs are bit older but nice (some are new too tho). Expect delays if its in the summer, its same with Aegean tho as ATH gets crazy so that causes the delays.
DeleteATH in summer is a chaos get there as early as possible!!
DeleteJust flew with them from ATH to CDG with A321neo. They were great.
ReplyDeleteThey are great hope they consider ATH-BEG too.
DeleteThey are great, very similar to Aegean/Olympic, both in terms of hard product and the crew. Would be great to have more competition on BEG-ATH
ReplyDeleteLegroom on Aegean's old aircraft (A320/321) is better, on NEOs the pitch is pretty much the same (more upfront and extremely tight in the back)
