Aviogenex goes into liquidation

State protectionism blamed for Aviogenex’s fate

The Serbian government has sent its struggling charter airline, Aviogenex, into liquidation, together with another 187 state-owned companies, as it looks to lay off 5.000 workers. The long-promised move is aimed at meeting the terms of a one billion euro loan deal with the International Monetary Fund. The government says the charter airline, once the former Yugoslavia’s busiest, will be liquidated since no interest was shown for the company when it was listed for privatisation mid last year. However, JetVision Balkan from Serbia, GLT Overseas (Middle East) from the United Arab Emirates, Euroswiss Investment Holding from Switzerland and Arctica Airlines from Russia all submitted letters of intent for the purchase of Aviogenex in August 2014.

GLT Overseas has contradicted the Serbian government’s version of events, explaining that the state failed to respond to any of its investment proposals. “Our investment and development team visited Belgrade in December 2013 and held talks with Aviogenex’s management”, the UAE-based company says. It adds, “In the summer of 2014 we held talks with Serbia’s Privatisation Agency and submitted a formal letter of intent”. According to GLT, the company proposed to register two wide-body aircraft in Serbia worth sixty million dollars and invest fresh capital into Aviogenex. “We would have employed several hundred people and given them the opportunity to inherit the vast experience accumulated at Aviogenex over the years”, the company says.

Prior to the break-up of Yugoslavia, Aviogenex was the busiest charter airline in the country, handling over half a million passengers per year in the late 1980s. However, the carrier has fallen on hard times with a single and aging Boeing 737-200 jet grounded at Belgrade Airport and 39 employees, which includes pilots, cabin crew, ground engineers and flight dispatchers. The company says its privatisation process has been mishandled by the government so as to protect the Etihad-backed Air Serbia. Its employees claim that the state does not want to create additional competition for its national airline. Over the weekend, the acting CEO of Aviogenex, Bojan Nikolić, sent an open letter to the Serbian Prime Minister, urging him to reconsider the government’s liquidation decision.


Aviogenex was set up by one of Yugoslavia’s leading foreign trade giants, Genex, in April 1968. It operated its first commercial flight between Belgrade and Dusseldorf on March 30, 1969 with a Tupolev Tu-134 aircraft. Aviogenex clocked up 2.166 hours of flying time and carried 51.178 passengers during its first year. The company grew at a moderate pace, solely as a charter airline, catering for the needs of Yugoslavia’s largest tour operator, Yugotours (which has also been listed for liquidation by the government). In 1983, Aviogenex began modernising its fleet by purchasing three Boeing 727s and later two B737-200s. The airline saw its busiest year on record in 1990 when it carried 633.932 passengers with a fleet of ten aircraft. Ironically, its B737-200, which has been grounded in Belgrade since February 2014, is younger than most of Air Serbia’s remaining Boeing 737-300 jets operating under the Aviolet charter brand. Under liquidation, Aviogenex’s assets and property will either be sold or redistributed before the company is officially dissolved by the liquidator.

    Aviogenex is entering bankruptcy, not liquidation. For some reason, general public in Serbia considers bankruptcy to be the end of a company. If that was the case, you would not have a single airline in the US.

    During the bankruptcy process, GLT will still be able to purchase the assets and Aviogenex brand, keep the people it needs and bring the company out of bankruptcy. Aviogenex will survive if there is a business plan behind it that will generate profits.

    We also need to consider those who Aviogenex owes money to. They will get repaid, at least partially, which is the only fair way to complete this saga.

    Airlines are expensive toys and I don't want any more of my tax money going towards government run airlines, especially where the partner is not a well known player.

      No they are entering liquidation not bankruptcy. There is a difference. You are obviously not aware how liquidation works in Serbia and trust me never has a company been bought during its liquidation process.

      Nothing surprising for our mafia government.

      In order for a company to be liquidated, it needs to enter bankruptcy first. You can't use government executive orders to force a liquidation.

      Take a look at the law (Zakon o stečaju), especially article 1 where you have two options - reorganize or liquidate. GLT can take part with either option. You and I can participate as well...

      Issue here is that people expect the government to take on the existing debts and continue with a 51% ownership in yet another airline with a partner whose about us page looks like this (assuming that this is their site) - http://www.gltdubai.com/about-us.php.

      For the sake of your correct information, we are Overseas Group, not GLT Overseas...
      Yes, we have two wide bodied Boeing aircraft and we are not planning to use them WITHIN Serbia. Our plan is to use Aviogenex' expertise in other regions where they have operated successfully not very long ago.
      Within Serbia we don't have an ambition to be a competitor to Air Serbia, but could pose as a feeder in the future.
      With our investment Aviogenex would still be a Serbian registered company, paying tax in Serbia and employing mostly Serbian staff.

    5. Wow. This could be interesting if this is truly the real Overseas Group here, and not someone pretending to be them.

      If you are really representatives of that company, can you clarify what do you mean by not using the Boeings within Serbia, do you mean that you will do ACMI leases to airlines outside of Serbia? Will you do any charters to Serbian travel agencies?

      My point still remains - you can get Aviogenex expertise for free! You can hire the entire team tomorrow - just offer to pay them market rates on time. Start a new company, hire Aviogenex staff, place the Boeing wide bodies in the YU register, and you will be up and running by September. What I am missing?

      Aviogenex’ history and business model is based on chartering aircraft with Serbian staff. The interest of Overseas Group in acquiring Aviogenex is to develop the chartering part as an extension to Group’s ongoing aviation business. The balance between setting up a new company and purchasing a going concern can be measured by evaluating time and costs associated with each option. We did our calculation, but time is slowly running out. For Aviogenex and Serbia math is simple: tax and employment.

      Serbian Government did not issue any notices in accordance to their circular email dated November 14th, 2014. It is unclear if any of the interested parties received an email notifying them of the Announcement of Public Invitation for the Privatization of Aviogenex.
      On the contrary, the Announcement in public domain was a Declaration of Liquidation.
      There were no talks with the Government about the details of our offer or the AGX price.

      There is nothing there to purchase! They have negative equity, which means that the assets can't be used to pay off debt. Those assets no longer "belong" to Aviogenex - they belong to the companies that Aviogenex owes money to.

      GLT can take all Aviogenex employees, find a local partner in order to get an AOC and they can be up and running by fall this year. Why bother with Aviogenex?

    Of course it must go to liquidation. UEA company plan to bring two wide-bodies, and that should be huge competition to Air Serbia in possible future intercontinental routes. And then we will not have the best of the best of the best company as business conducted by Prime minister. And that was the reason why there was no respond to UEA company letter of intention. Who cares about people losing jobs, another company in liquidation, passengers… whatever is on Air Serbia dream-way must be destroyed. Even CEO of Belgrade airport who gave discount to Wizz to make BEG growing, competition who run away from Belgrade, LCC who cut frequencies or routes… For who is that good? Passengers? Sure not. Belgrade airport? Of course not! Self-promotion of Prime minister… well…

  6. Even though it's always sad when an airline goes bankrupt everyone should have known this was coming. Serbia and Belgrade are too small for three airlines.

    Legacy: Air Serbia.
    Lowcost: Wizz Air.
    Charter: Aviolet.
    Flights from Nis: too late, Wizz Air is already there.

    So what exactly could have Aviogenex done? Unfortunately their presence has become obsolete and any potential business opportunity was snatched by others. One thing the government can do is to transfer the flying staff to Air Serbia, that is to Aviolet.

      One more time. I don't care if UAE company want to do it. It is their risk, not Serbian. It is not about us to think what is business plan of some rich company which want to invest.

      Maybe they want to open intercontinental routes before Air Serbia and to harm Etihad. Who knows? Maybe they want to make wide-bodies charter company for all regions (for Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania). Tourists, pilgrims to Mecca for what A320 are too small, ad hoc charters, Diaspora), and for that BEG is perfectly suited in middle of Balkans.

      It is not a question what was their business logic, but if they have enough money and credibility or not. But our Government did not even respond to their LoI

    6. In my opinion, the GoS should sell AGX to any company that has these two things:
      1. Money
      2. Business Plan for AGX

      Since AGX has negative value, it is impossible to buy the company and just close it down and sell all the assets. If there is a company that is willing to take on all the commitments of AGX and offer to try to develop the company, there is no harm there.

      My only concern is this talk about two widebodies. I suspect that B767s are in question because I think those are the only widebodies that could be valued at 30 million each. 767s are a lot of capacity, too much in my opinion.

Vec pocinje 46 godina kako sam gledao radjanje zore na dalekom Pacifiku. Da nije telo slabo a Duh srcan opet bih million puta isto ponovio i u svet bi odleteo. Nikada nisam psovao drzavu. Ni jednu, pa ni Srbiju. Uvek sam se trudio da izmaknem glavu da mi drzava "ne tuca beli luk na vrh glave". Uspesno. Lava nahranim. On ne samo da me nece prozdrati. Ne, on nece ni da rezati. Ali prije toga mora se imati velika Vera, snazna volja, veliki trud, strpljenje trenutak po trenutak. U svetu to je nacin zivota po mojem iskustvu od pola veka. Mozda nije sasvim dovoljno, Ipak Hvala je Gospodu! Dosta zreo plod je na mojem dlanu. Stvaranje je osnov, a novac je plod stvaranja. Ako je Avio Genex stvarao novac, gde mu je plod kada i dlan je izgubio. Potajno, "da se vla ne doseti". Rezultat je "zlo radjenje, gotovo sudjenje". Bez novca nema ni kompanije ni Avio Genex-a.

      A jeli, pa meni je djelovalo da se priča kako je toga bilo jako mnogo. I kako su kompanije masovno dolazile sa većim avionima od planiranih. I to velik broj kompanija, ne samo jedna-dvije. E sad, nešto tu nevalja. Ili je netko kakio kad se kurc*o da stalno dolaze A321 umjesto A320 i A320 umjesto A319, pa 739, paAirbusevi umjesto 100-seatera, ili netko sada kaki!

    Aviogeneksovcima smeta vlada i Er Srbija, a ne smeta im sto nisu smislili plan kako da uspesno rade. Svaki MBA student bi smislio bolji plan!

    Trebalo je upravo da se priblize Er Srbiji i vladi i pitaju ih kako da se uklope u novu sliku. Vlada hoce da aktivira sve male aerodrome, a sigurno je da ni Er Srbija ni Wizz ni bilo ko drugi nece da leti za Ponikve ili Sombor. Mogli su da naprave plan da se otarase onog 737 i viska ljudi i umesto toga lete malim avionima do 20 sedista sa malih aerodroma kao sto je Morava ili Ponikve do Begrada. Vlada bi im dala legalne subvencije za domace letove (EU to prihvata), Er Srbija bi im bila partner jer bi dobijali dodatne putnike, aerodromi bi bili srecni jer imaju stalne letove, gradovi kao sto su Kravljeno bi bili srecni jer imaju avio linije, svi zadovoljni!

      Linija Zagreb - Beograd, nije baš profitibilna za ASL, popunjenost na toj liniji je ispod profitabilnosit, oko 40-45% što je prilicno loše ako se uzme informacija da cijene na liniju su dumpingške.

      Ne znam kako ASL raćunica radi ali oni gube novce na linji, prilićno debelo.

      Naravno zima je, pa možda se situacija poboljša u 4tom mjesecu ili mozda u 5om, ali ne znam da li ASL može kontuirano letjeti za Zagreb sa dumpiškim cijenama.

      Bumo vidili kak sve to završi za ASL, ja sam jako zadavoljan da ASL leti za Zagreb, to je još jedna avio kompanija koja leti za Pleso, ali nisam siguran da ovu u ASL imaju matematiku u vidu kad su počeli sa ovom linijom.

      Zapadna Evropa ima autoputeve i pruge zbog kojih kratke linije više nisu konkurentne. Letiš avionom recimo 2 sata do Beograda i još 3,5-4 sata kolima do Kuste (ili 3 do Užica) od Aerodroma Beograd nije zabavno, a bilo bi da se ide 120kmh autoputem ili brzim vozom, što neće skoro. Svi bi radije avionom kad bi moglo. Na kraju ko će da leti sa svih ovih aerodroma u koje država hoće da ulaže? Osim BEG i INI, možda ima šanse da Turkish leti za Kraljevo, sve ostalo nije interesantno za velike kompanije.

      Ovo za Banja Luku je bilo istina na početku, ali je sada mnogo bolje. Recimo u novembru je bio LF 64% a sad u januaru 59%, sasvim u redu za zimu. Kad otopli Banja Luka će biti odlično popunjena.

Medjutim, pitanje je kakvi su bili uslovi tog ulaganja. Jedna druga stvar koja se mora uzeti u obzir je I dogovor sa Etihadom oko ASL ekskluzivnosti. Koliko se sjecam bilo je nesto tako pomenuto cak I u objavljenom ugovoru. Ako je to istina, mozda su vladi ovdje bile svezane ruke sa vise strana.

      Site automatically comes up with layover duration, I didn't have to do a thing.

      I don't know if you are aware, but this is what killed the last project, when Skyservice flew from YYZ to ZAG (and BEG). Competition simply dumped prices so low, instead of direct flight people choose to fly one stop for a few hundred bucks cheaper. When 3 or 4 person family flies together, it adds up to a large sum. Not sure if SkyGreece is aware how low they have to go to keep competition away. We'll see once they post rates.
