NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia has operated an evacuation flight for Serbian nationals amid the escalating crisis in the Middle East. The airline deployed an Airbus A319 aircraft last Friday for a special service between Belgrade and Sharm El Sheikh, located at the southern tip of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The flight was coordinated by the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which also arranged ground transport from the Israel - Egypt border to Sharm El Sheikh. This marks the second evacuation mission operated by Air Serbia in recent months, following a similar flight to Beirut in October 2024.

I wonder if the evacuees ever get to pay something for these charters?
ReplyDeleteIsrael is in a protracted conflict for quite some time now, and yet someone chooses to stay there and then be granted public money evacuation flight.
On a side note, this shows importance of having a flag carrier, even though here evacuating the easy going citizens...
There are diplomacy personnel, religious representatives, some people studying, having medical procedures etc. It’s not just about tourists…
DeleteSharm El Sheikh is in Egypt, not in Israel.
DeleteAnd JU has been operating charters there for years.
^ Israeli aisrpace is closed. This was not a leisure charter but an evacuation charter. Read the article. The flight was specifically chartered to get people out of Israel. There weren't other people flying for holidays to or from Sharm el Sheikh.
DeleteThere are also a few Serbian Jews with dual citizenship who are heading back to Serbia to escape the conflict.
DeleteThere are already a lot of Israeli families in Belgrade, fleeing war. I expect more coming
DeleteGood trip report. Those passengers seem genuinely happy to be onboard Air Serbia.
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t matter which airline
