NEWS FLASH
Air France - KLM’s low cost subsidiary Transavia France will launch a new seasonal service between Paris Orly Airport and Belgrade next summer season. The budget carrier will operate two weekly flights, on Thursdays and Sundays, from April 10 until September 7, 2025. Although the carrier faces no direct competition, indirectly it will battle against Air Serbia’s service between Belgrade and Paris Charles de Gaulle, as well as Wizz Air’s operation between the Serbian capital and Beauvais. Tickets are now available for purchase through the airline’s website. Further flight details can be found here.
Will probs work well against Wizz, considering they serve a superior airport
ReplyDeleteTransavia will "help" both W6 and JU keep their prices reasonable to Paris.
DeleteAnd besides that ORL airport has better connections to central Paris than CDG, let alone BVA.
Great news!
ReplyDeleteThat’s great ! Let’s hope they add ORY-SKP too !

DeleteTo annon 12:43, once I payed 1070 eur one way CDG-BEG Few years ago
DeleteAgainst JU 22x from July and W6… difficult.
ReplyDeleteTheir prices might be cheaper that will push JU and surely W6 to re-think about their price policy in CDG and BVA.
DeleteO cemu ti pricas? Karte kod JU za CDG su prejeftine. Pocetna cena od 60 i nesto €.
DeleteThey're not after JU here. Sure they'll take some pax but Wizz has the least attractive offer in Paris now. They'll have to be dirty cheap next spring.

DeletePricam o tome da je najjeftinija povratna karta sa JU u novembru (dakle van sezone) negde oko 180 EUR (ovo u jednom pravcu od 66 EUR je navlakusa jer je to za odlazni let iz BEG gde su uvek manje takse nego iz CDG) dok je sa Wizzom 105 EUR povratna za BVA.
DeleteAko Transavia bude nudila iz ORY 100 EUR koliko im je trenutno najjeftinija karta dobro ce proci ali mislim da ce im vecina cena biti u rangu od 170 EUR.
Novembar je za mesec dana. Nerealno je ocekivati niske cene. Zna se kada se i kako kupuju karte. Cak i da je 180€ je prejeftino za destinaciju poput CDG. Ljudi su nerealni. Mastaju i dalje da predju pola Evrope za 50-70€ koliko ocekuju da ih kosta povratna. A u restoranu u Srbiji ne mozes da rucas za te pare.
DeleteРелативно често се провлачи прича о скупим картама код ЈУ. Мислим да је те зато што су генерално пуни летови а потражња је много већа него понуда. То нас доводи у ситуацију да су доступне само најскупље тарифе. Air Serbia мора бити агилнија и одговорити на потражњу. Примера ради, летови за Порто и Малагу су пуни мање више до краја године (већ сада је преко 80% попуњеност ове зиме). Нажалост ЈУ не може одреаговати отуд ствара себи непотребан проблем а сви знамо зашто не могу одреаговати.
DeleteIste su cene i u martu.
Delete180 EUR nije prejeftino ni u skom slucaju jer za iste datume cena za CDG
iz Helsinkija je 189 EUR (AF)
Iz Istanbula je 182 EUR (VF)
iz Atine za 135 EUR (AF)
Iz Stokholma je 155 EUR (AF)
Iz Osla je 167 EUR (AF)
Iz Rima je 165 EUR (ITA)
Iz Budimpeste je 164 EUR (AF)
Da ne pominjem da je sa Norwegian ili sa easyJetom ova cena iz nekih gradova ide i na 100 EUR povratna iako se slece na CDG.
A svima njima je novembar na mesec dana od danas.
Мислим да је лето много већи проблем за путнике јер су тада карте за Париз преко 50.000. То је слична ситуација са многим другим одредиштима.
DeleteNe zaboravite da sa BVA aerodroma treba 1 sat voznje busom i 30 eur je povratna do grada...
Delete@Nemjee
DeleteЗашто не могу одреаговати? Мањак пилота?
Требали би пустити А330 на краће линије.
Да, да. Немају довољно пилота и то им ствара велики и хроничан проблем. Једино их може спасити да се ситуација мало смири и да потражња на глобалном нивоу опадне.
DeleteI think first time since ASL France that there will be nonstop flights from Orly to Belgrade.
ReplyDeleteFantastic news! Not only that Orly is closer than CDG - Flying blue members can collect miles on these flights too.
ReplyDeleteFlying Blue members could already collect miles on CDG-BEG flights, all one needs to do is to book them through AF with AF flight numbers.
DeleteVlad only the most expensive ticket classes of JU are available to book through AF's website.
DeleteFlyingBlue and bluebiz can no longer get points on BEG-CDG with JU. All flights are routed via AMS. Air France stopped selling point to point flights with JU.
Delete@Nemjee
DeleteYou're completely correct, I had no idea! Luckily I've already booked most of my travel to BEG for the next 6 months or so. Interestingly enough, the AF website offers connections onto JU through NCE, but no direct flights.
I found out the same way, was looking for some flight for the coming January and was surprised when I noticed that they no longer offer flights that are operated by JU.
DeleteI wouldn't be surprised if they return to BEG with the A220.
I really hoped to see AF rather than Transavia.
ReplyDeleteLast time they left they cited having much higher costs than JU making them uncompetitive, looks like this time they remembered they own transavia that can do it at lower coat

DeleteJU won't like this new competitor but it was badly needed.
This is fantastic news. ORY is now a breeze to reach from Paris proper with the extension of metro line 14, and avoiding the awful immigration queues at CDG at certain hours is another plus.
ReplyDeleteThat said, they are clearly going after Wizz with this change.
Isn't 2pw a bit too conservative?
ReplyDelete4-5pw year-round would have been more realistic to take on Wizz Air.
Thank you Vinci, that is great news for travelers.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteWould probably work better 3pw.
...or more.
DeleteI think this route will be a success especially since JU and W6 are not meeting demand and fares have gone up quite a bit.
DeleteLet's look at how things were developing.
ReplyDelete- KL launches BEG with three weekly flights.
- KL discontinues the sale of AMS-BEG tickets on JU.
- KL boosts BEG to daily.
- KL boosts BEG to more or less double daily.
- KL boosts capacity in winter to B73W and turns BEG once more into a KL Mainline destination.
- AF terminates the sale of CDG-BEG sector on JU.
- Transavia annouces ORY-BEG.
Let's see if Air France makes a comeback especially since they see how well KL is performing. I don't see SK launching BEG since they would have to compete with both JU and W6 from the same airport.
It's more than obvious that AF-KL is becoming far more hostile towards JU and they could become a serious problem for them.
Transavia and Air Serbia will destroy Wizz Air on this route. On Sundays JU has a 20.20 departure from CDG and Transavia will have a 20.05 departure from BEG.
ReplyDeleteWho will want to fly on Wizz Air in the middle of the day?
