Judging by how BA has been doing in the region, I'm a bit doubtful
ReplyDeleteWhy? They flew more than 10 flights per day every Saturday all summer. And they have been doing this for years.
DeleteI meant to Ex-Yu region. They have more than 10 flights a day to Ex-Yu.
DeleteSounds good until you see daily flight count of other major carriers to Ex-Yu.
DeleteLike which ones? Austrian and Lufthansa barely fly to the region anymore and only send their sister airlines. Air France barely flies anywhere and even when it does it sends HOP.
DeleteTGD but not BEG. Really?
ReplyDeleteWhy is this a surprise? easyJet and Jet2 both fly from the UK to Montenegro but not to Belgrade.
DeleteBA has no serious competition in Montenegro.
Deletejet2?
DeleteStop treating east Balkan as a third class tribe and give visa free access to the uk and these might work.
ReplyDeleteIt's not up to BA.
DeleteThat is up to the UK government and the governments of our countries to change.
DeleteMontenegro keeps winning!
ReplyDeleteEven if they do, to which airport? LHR has far more connection possibilities, but LGW is the leisure-oriented operation.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it would be LGW-TIV. It's not a route that will be targeting transatlantic connections.
