I believe vast majority of flyers out of BEG make 1-2 trips per year and they don't care about alliances. For frequent fliers from ex-yu, I absolutely agree that star alliance seems like the best option.<br />As for Jat's age: my point was that their 733s are not so bad - others also operate similar planes, for example Lufthansa's 733 were made a year after Jat's. I don't see your connection about the age of the company and it's health. Of course Jat needs new fleet, but my point is that these planes were used less than planes of similar age with LH and BA and are maintained as well, so they are safe to fly. They are not pretty and fuel efficient, but personally I'd fly 733 over DH4 or any Fokker or CRJ any day (I do like E-Jets for what it's worth)...<br />Finally, I'm super happy about the trends you mention and sincerely hope they persist for many years to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-70665746119037952122012-12-11T18:38:27.385+01:002012-12-11T18:38:27.385+01:00Well,they did stop flights because of war.

I assure you I am not the only one that thinks this, and many that travel to ex-Yu also use Miles for the same purpose.<br /><br />And Jat is VERY OLD. Their fleet consists of the first Boeing 737 to be delivered in the European market. Other airlines may be old, but they're still successful and operate with a much bigger fleet.<br /><br />To the person asking if I am joking, no I am not. Belgrade is among the top 15 destinations in Europe for business conferences, it has a slow rising tourist industry, and it is becoming much more known in the USA and the far West. More pax are using Belgrade and the statistics among returning tourists is incredible. People are going back and new people are visiting and with that combination, you shall see Belgrade return to competition with Budapest and Bucharest in a matter of years. This is not going to happen in 2-3 years but I would say possibly 6-10.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-22124514310192363032012-12-11T16:56:06.953+01:002012-12-11T16:56:06.953+01:00AZAL is a government-owned company if I recall.

Miles make sense if you travel a lot, especially intercontinental. For the average Joe, miles matter much less than low price. Also, people constantly bash Jat for flying old fleet, but forget that LH is also flying 733 and BA is flying 734. All of these planes which should be phased out by 2016 have seen many more flight hours than Jat's planes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-65933146904348638202012-12-11T07:11:54.051+01:002012-12-11T07:11:54.051+01:00You do realize how stupid your comment is?

If Belgrade can get direct flights to the USA, it will be a big boost for the airport. That would pit Belgrade against Budapest for the region's regional airport, and I think Belgrade can muscle its way within the next 10 years.<br /><br />I do not know what to make of Air France, British Airways, and other airlines that are leaving because they cannot compete with JAT. This is good for JAT and Serbia since they both make more money. However, this means a decrease in air traffic as many refuse to fly with an airplane that is as old as JAT's fleet, and JAT is not a member of any alliance so people get little to no miles flying there.<br /><br />Belgrade is becoming very popular and trendy, and the city itself needs to help put its image as a metro back on the map.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-39010032891711649122012-12-10T17:35:19.951+01:002012-12-10T17:35:19.951+01:00Official data?Official data?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-84186195470098569402012-12-10T17:27:13.753+01:002012-12-10T17:27:13.753+01:00Well, it is not, at least according to this schedu...Well, it is not, at least according to this schedule and online schedule Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-60847296219345845892012-12-10T17:18:41.001+01:002012-12-10T17:18:41.001+01:00Here, to congratulate BEG!
