Wizz Air scales down Belgrade operations

"Sad day for passengers and tourism in Serbia", says Wizz Air

Wizz Air has announced plans to scale down its operations out of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport after its expenses at Serbia’s busiest airport were increased by 40%. In a press release, the low cost airline says Belgrade has become the most expensive airport in its destination network. Wizz Air will suspend its two weekly flights to Charleroi as well as its two weekly seasonal summer service to Sanderfjrod in Norway as of May 6. All passengers who have purchased tickets with the carrier for travel after the termination date will be issued a full refund.

Wizz Air will now serve ten destinations out of the Serbian capital but will cut down on existing frequencies. In addition, the no frills airline will move one of its two Airbus A320s based in Belgrade to Riga. Wizz Air’s Executive Vice President, John Stephenson said, “It is a sad day for passengers and tourism in Serbia. We believe low fares are beneficial to Serbia’s aviation industry, but, unfortunately, Belgrade Airport does not share that belief. As one of the most expensive airports in Europe, it should work to stimulate low cost travel instead of unfairly protecting Etihad/Air Serbia which aims to create a monopoly”. Mr. Stephenson adds that Wizz Air was hoping to boost its operations out of Belgrade and is ready to do so if “Belgrade Airport reduces its costs and becomes competitive with other cheaper airports in the region”.

Earlier this year the Serbian government launched an investigation into alleged benefits Wizz Air received from Belgrade Airport. Reportedly, it discounted passenger taxes, handling, landing and service fees for the low cost airline over the past three years. According to earlier media reports, Wizz Air saved 5.4 million euros at Belgrade Airport since 2011, including a 20% discount for using terminal one, a 45% discount on handling and infrastructure use, 30% reduction on landing, 100% discount on the use of air bridges, 30% reduction on parking and lighting, 45% off for night time handling and a 45% discount on using airport infrastructure at night time. As EX-YU Aviation News learns, Wizz Air was recently informed it would have to pay service fees in full as is the case with other airlines operating from the airport.

Wizz Air booming in Skopje

Wizz Air is Serbia’s second busiest airline, handling 480.000 passengers to and from Belgrade Airport last year. In the first two months of 2014, Wizz Air welcomed just over 59.000 passengers on its flights to and from the Serbian capital, or an increase of 24% compared to the same period last year. In stark contrast, the low cost airline launched several new routes out of Skopje over the past few days, which now becomes its largest base in the former Yugoslavia.

      I still think their presence is good competition wise, but...
      I don't love them that much since 2 years ago when they introduced that idiotic luggage policy, and started charging even for cabin luggage which even Ryanair doesn't do.
      That is the reason love faded away in my case, so I started loving Easyjet much more.
      As with all loves, they come and go by time, but that is not important in your "mine is bigger than yours-I did it first" philosophy, so never mind.

    How are they giving "Etihad/Air Serbia unfair protection" if Wizz Air was the only airline that was favoured by the discounts? Wouldn't the right wording be that so far the airport was actually protecting Wizz Air and not Air Serbia or some other airline?

    1. No. The right wording would be that so far the airport was allowing JAT/AirSERBIA to pay NOTHING for many MANY years.

      And please don't give me that "they are protecting national carrier" as AirSERBIA is not that any more.

      Bringing WizzAir to BEG was one of the best moves in decades.
      You, me and the rest of the travelling public are at loss here. Wizz is just going to move on to another airport where they are desperate to see them come (subsidised or not).

      Unfortunately, it's not that BEG allows JAT/AirSERBIA not to pay. Hence BEG is state owned it has to follow Govt instructions. Two GM's who in previous tried to ground JU fleet or release bill of exchange were sucked immediately. The Govt is ruining both JU and BEG the latter because of JU for decades. BEG struggled so far but I'm afraid that the aim of the Govt Guidelines is to show BEG incapable and insolvent and to merge it with JU.

    Da ste stvarno nešto saznali, izveštavali bi o realnoj situaciji sa taksama i novom AIP-ju objavljenom sredniom marta koji je skrojen i daje maksimalne povlastici Air Serbia-i, a uskraćuje sve povlastice ostalima. BEG je sada jedini aerodrom gde nema beneficija za bazirane avione, a koje inače obično rastu u korak sa povećanjem broja putnika.

    Umesto toga, ajmo pričati o popustima koje je Wizz Air imao u skladu sa gorenavedenim, a uz to ćemo i prećutati da JAT nikad nije platio svoje dažbine,već su svi dugovi otpisani. Gornji članak je u skladu sa naručenim novinskim "vestima" od pre par meseci koji su služili kao uvod u novu situaciju.

    Sve u svemu, tendenciozan članak, ali nisam ništa manje ni očekivao od vas. Niste me razočarali, jednostavno takva je situacija na terenu, kao i momentalna strategija, gura se Air Serbia beneficijama šakom i kapom. Čestitam na izboru, pa ćemo videti koliko je to poverenje opravdano.

    Svima koji razmišljaju "eto im aerodrom u Nišu, Kraljevu, itd", ne znaju kako se alociraju nove rute i/ili avioni. Konkurencija nije lokalna već na nivou Evrope, a i šire. Ovaj avion, recimo, ide za Rigu. Ne nedostaju opcije, ne brinite. Jednostavno je, Beograd i Srbija gubi avion i to je to.

    Kad bi aerodrom Batajnica bio operativan, Wizz bi sigurno bio zainteresovan. Na žalost, to nije slučaj, a pitajte svoje političare zašto taj projekt ne mrda sa mesta godinama.

    Ko god misli da će easyJet biti zgodniji za Beograd i Air Srbiju, vara se, jer easyJetov segment puno bliži, pa će i kanibalizacija biti puno veća. Jedino što nisu odlučni i agresivni poput Wizz Air-a kad je u pitanju Balkan.

      not like everybody else on the airport. wizz told yesterday (novosti) that they should pay 31 euro per pax and Air Serbia only 17 euros. it is 14 euros less then Wizz and all other. The real question i who is privileged one? Also, Wizz Air save more than 5 mil. euro, but pay to the airport much more than that amount despite discounts. If they hadn't got discounts they would have never started to fly to Belgrade.(Novosti). But at the other hand Jat Airways never paid to airport used serviced and the total amount of more then 13 mil euros paid off. Also, Air Serbia did not pay one cent to the airport after the transformation (Ask anyone from the airport).

    Jat was not paying and now Serbia made this as public debt – so it is financial help to Air Serbia (not that Etihad take all debts and airport fee as well)

    Air Serbia has huge discount. Of course Belgrade is their base. But it is also Wizzair base.

    Air Serbia gets discounts also on number of passengers. Real number in 2014 will be 1,5 million passengers. In same time Wizzair real number would be 0,5 million (without this new cutting). So, how comes that Wizzair does not have any benefits, at least 33% of benefits like Air Serbia?

    If really everybody has to pay full amount, Air Serbia including, that it is fair deal, and Wizzair would not have any excuses. But when one company gets huge discount (Air Serbia), and company that 33% as big as that company gets no discount that is discrimination. If I would be in Wizzair shoes I would put Belgrade airport on court.

    And even blind man can see that it is protectionism of Air Serbia by owner (Republic of Serbia) which is in same time owner of Belgrade airport.

    The only looser here are passengers. That was seen before: dumping low fares, kick out biggest competition (Wizzair) and than put prices up to sky!

      And did Wizzair have 0,5 million passengers, what is 1/3 of Air Serbia number, and did Wizzair have base in Serbia?
      - Of course!

      The main problem is that Wizz Air was set up contrary to law because you can’t hire Serbian citizens and base aircraft in BEG without registering your company in Serbia. That way they avoided paying a whole lot of tax and did not have to follow Serbian policies and laws. How come there was Wizz Air Bulgaria (prior to them entering the EU) and Wizz Air Ukraine but there is no Wizz Air Serbia. Simple.

      There are 2 problems:

      - first by Open sky agreement any EU company can fly freely to Belgrade. What more when Wizzair comes that was deal blessed by government
      - second Wizzair pays taxes on employees, petrol, services and that ever they buy in Belgrade. But Air Serbia also does not pay any taxes for flying out of Serbia (that is service abroad on which you don't pay any taxes at all), and as we all know there are no domestic flights in Serbia, so there are no taxes on service (V.A.T. or how we call it PDV)

    9. As I said yesterday you can’t have your cake and eat it too. What’s more important, jobs through domestic airline or more option, cheaper tickets (in this case low cost) for an average Serbian passenger? Obviously, government chose the former which kind of makes sense considering they own 51% of the company and unemployment is high. Now one can argue that by limiting competition you are limiting jobs in the long term but governments rarely look past 4 year election cycle, or 2-3 years in Serbia. Realistically speaking, government should get out of airline business but with stupid EU ownership limit you’ll never find Serbian to own 51% of AS

      Nobody answers as to how much money did JAT get from Wizz for the use of its terminal at BEG. After all, documents show that JAT is the owner of Terminal 1 if Im not mistaken. On top of this, JAT was being overcharged fees in BEG, as well on top with higher fuel prices etc. And its ironic to see that the landing fees at BEG is acceptable for easyJet, who btw have increased its offering in BEG, yet Wizz Air are having a fit.

    We moan because in the long term it will cause price increase. When MALEV (the Hungarian equivalent of JAT) went bust, Wizz increased prices nearly to MALEV's prices on routes where it had monopoly. This will happen in Serbia as well. I also think Air Serbia's prices right now are "promotional" prices just to restore consumer confidence and popularity in the company. If BEG is really so expensive then don't expect any major LLC activity. That is the reason why they don't operate flights to the major airports, but to secondary airports. In other countries LLCs usually use older or less well equipped terminals if no secondary airport is available. BEG should offer this. But I think the goal is just to drive more passengers to Air Serbia, to make it more successful. Which I can understand but again only common people will be the loosers, because they will have to pay more for the tickets. Or will travel to other airports in the region.

    2. TThe EU will declare war on Serbia if thats true!
      Its clearly discrimination of European airlines.
      Wizzair should unite with LH against AS even if that would mean suspending landing rights to all European airlines!

      What is 33 EUR? Airport taxes? Even if T2, it is a 66% increase from current price list - all carriers would protest such ripoff.

      Can anybody confirm what prices exactly changed and how much?

      Wizz Air je dobra avio-kompanija dok god je ono od garderobe što ponesete na vama. Tako da ako želite da prođete jeftino sa Wizz-om najbolje bi bilo da se dobro naobučete.

      Delete
    3. Čini mi se da neko ovde ne razume kako funkcionišu low cost kompanije, takođe ni da koristi time table. Nova politika prtljaga je u najmanju ruku velika neprijatnost ali i tako je mnogo povoljnije od legacy airliner-a. Ja sam lično više puta leteo za FCO u rasponu cena od 20-30EUR. I sada u Junu letim EasyJet-om za 33EUR.
      Ja sigurno žalim za Wizz-om jer se sećam da je 2010.god. ista destinacija JAT-om bila oko 350EUR ( s tom razlikom što je verovatno u pitanju bio CIA, ali takse bi tamo trebale da su manje ). Ja već sada ozbiljno razmišljam o Temišvaru ili čak Budimpešti kao polaznu tačku.

    Cena za Pariz/Bove sa polaskom 15.septembra i povratkom 26. septembra je preko 200 evra a sa prljagom 260...

    If these charges are true (17 vs. 33) EU will have something to say. I'm not a particular fan of EU, but it may be the only way to benefit the consumers. Otherwise, passengers will again su sibsidise 'national airline'.

    Dragi prijatelji Wizz air-a. Tvrdo verujem da je prema vasoj kompaniji Beogradski aerodrom Nikola Tesla bio i postupio prema vamsoj avio kompaniji veom darezljivo. S'obzirom da se okolnosti menjaju u smislu dolaska novih avio kompanija, rapidnom rastu Srpske avio kompanije AIR SERBIA, koje imaju pun servis i povecan broj dnevnih frekfrenci, a samim tim i aerodrom ce sluziti
    za full service airlines. Kao sto daleko na najveci broj glavnih aerodroma LC kompanije ne lete, vreme pokazuje da se i ANT Beograd priblizava donjem nivou srednjih aerodrome centralne i juzne Evrope. Dobra je prilika za Vizz air da pocne da koristi Niski I Kraljevacki...
    Jedno je sigurno. Ovi aerodromi dugo, dugo ocekuju svoje aktiviranje. Hoceli Vizz air prihvatiti, vreme ce pokazati. U svakom slucaju dobra sreca za VIZZ AIR.

    When Wizzair paid 50% less than the other airlines there is a big alternative to increasing prices for Wizzair :
    REDUCE PRICES FOR ALL OTHER AIRLINES TOO !

    Let them all pay the same 50% LESS.
    LCCs are essential for the success of an airport.
    Belgrade simply has no future without them.

    Also if they leave BEG they do not simply stop to exist:They will move into direct neighbourship.
    Is it really the goal of the government to let people from Belgrade drive to Budapest or Tuzla to catch cheaper
    alternatives?

    1. Wizz still operates from Belgrade. 29 flıghts per week.

    2. EasyJet, Norwegian, Pegasus and FlyDubai still operate from BEG. Unchanged.

    3. People will rush to Tuzla and Budapest because there are no more Wizz flights to Oslo (served by Norwegian for 100 euro roundtrip) and Brussels? How come they did not rush out of Serbia when Wizz cancelled Rome, Corfu, Rhodes...?

    4. Passengers from Serbia have much more serious things to worry about than Wizz.

    And who pays JU for using their hangars and terminal building? For years AB take money from JU for their property, also make money from other company's also from JAT property same thing for Jat tehnika they are using JU hangars etc....
    Now Terminal 1 again belongs to JU and off course that JU have cheaper handling because they now use their own....
    Wizz air have lover handling prices than national carrier for years and no one complain, now is problem that government don't want to spent money on the company that actually take all profit out of country....
    Everybody steals from JU no one ask why the company was near bankruptcy pay higher tax and handling, gas etc....
    State take everything from JU Hangars,Terminal,Fly academy, Hotels, Slots..... And everybody was good with that... Now when some one protecting interest of the company better then party gangsters all spit on them....

    It does not matter that wizz air company that all money pump out from the country take from are govrment 5.3m Eur and get everything cheaper then our company that employ our ppl and pay tax nad bills to our state....How much state budget gets from JU just from Taxes on salary's? Fuel? Electricity? How many ppl works indirectly just because of JU and taxes from thei salary? No one ask that only ask for losses and how many cash we spent to save JU....But when we spent budget money on Hungarian company that is ok....We are crazy country......

    Oh, horrors of horrors, Belgrade will lose flights to Charleroi and Sanderfjrod because this fleabag of a company won't pay the price for using facilities. Belgrade is an actual full-service international airport and an appropriate service fee structure. There is no reason to expect to use the facilities of such an airport at rates available at "Sanderfjrod". So, yes, oh, horrors, Serbs won't be able to jet nonstop to the metropolises of Charleroi and Sanderfjrod, and all these high-margin tourists who choose to fly out of Charleroi and Sanderfjrod (who would basically stay in a hostel and buy salami in a supermarket) will instead be headed to Riga. Good riddance I say. Personally I don't think that these cockroaches of companies (or quite frankly any companies) should ever be given a special treatment. If they want cheap they are welcome to Ladjevci or Nis. What is the serious difference between Nis and Sanderjfrod? Of course they are also welcome to a first-class airport like BEG if they are ready to pay for that. They should never be allowed to have their cake and eat it too - especially if we are the ones paying for the said cake!!!
