Pilots are very good. Stewardesses might not be the youngest around, but they are very competent (I've been in an airplane a few times when a passenger was having medical problems and they handled it very professionaly). Their airplanes are ancient but they somehow manage to fly when others are grounded (I flew ZRH-BEG during snowstorms at the end of November last year, when vast majority of flights were cancelled but we got to Belgrade... a few hours late, though). And they have great slots (e.g. at ZRH) :) And 30kg baggage allowance and good ticket prices.<br />In my ideal world, someone will come, bring new(er) planes, replace JAT Ketering (or at least replace those horrible triangle sandwitches) and keep everything else the same...SuisseOuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-55733757303073996202011-07-29T14:32:32.095+02:002011-07-29T14:32:32.095+02:00"Also I'm wondering if the sale might att..."Also I'm wondering if the sale might attract some interest in the Gulf/UAE airlines like Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air ..."<br /><br />No, they might be interested in an AIRLINE, Jat Airways is just a glorified bus transport company! :)crewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-19230353360203513442011-07-29T07:49:25.352+02:002011-07-29T07:49:25.352+02:00Is the Serbian government using this as a way to p...Is the Serbian government using this as a way to primarily rebrand the natonal airline or are they keeping the JAT name?!
